2 reviews for SS Red Oak Victory
Any boat geeks out there? My hubby totally loves boats so we had to go. My friend found out they are open Saturdays from 10am-3pm so we got to check it out. First time cuz didn't even know before that you can go on it!
From their website: "Launched on November 9, 1944 as the SS Red Oak Victory, and commissioned as the USS Red Oak Victory (AK235) in December, 1944, the Red Oak Victory is the only vessel built by the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond, California that is being restored. The ship saw service in World War II, Korea and Vietnam and has the distinction of being the only ship operated by both military and civilian personnel during her career.
In 1996, by an Act of Congress, title to the SS Red Oak Victory was conveyed to the Richmond Museum Association. One of the primary goals of the museum is to preserve, restore and develop the Red Oak into a viable asset that can be used, enjoyed and appreciated by the citizens of Richmond and the surrounding Bay Area communities. "
Donations are: $5 adults, $4 seniors, $2 children under 5.
you can see tons of stuff in & on the boat. Engine room, Captain room, under the boats. We happen to bump into a older guy and he took us on a private tour (you may see him if you go). He even opened up the gift shop and my geeky hubby bought 2 hats.
Worth going if you love huge, cargo warship!
