My Grandfather served on victory and liberty ships during WWII as a member of the naval armed guard. He later worked on the Lane Victory during his retirement. We lost him in early 2020. But I still have a fond memory of visiting him at the Lane Victory that is moored in San Pedro CA. I hope to see the Red Oak sail again in the future.

Thank you, John. Always good to hear from a member of the Victory ship family!
Very cool! I’m looking forward to visit in the future
Had the opportunity to work on the American Victory in Tampa. Got to take a test cruise. Engineering is hot 🥵

Thanks for supporting our historic ships community!
She came out of moth balls in Oct 1966 and was reactivated by Albina Engine and Machine. I worked in the yard during reactivation, when it came time to raise steam I worked as fire man water tender and oiler for dock and river trials, along with doing 13 other Victory ships. Don Benson
