Spruced up SS Red Oak Victory ship comes home to Richmond
GREAT NEWS!
As of 12:55 PM, October 14, the SS Red Oak Victory is back home. After nearly a month in BAE’s drydocks in San Francisco, the ship successfully made the voyage back to its home at Berth 6A with a new coat of paint and an improved hull among many other improvements.
Also, along with the ships arrival, the Richmond Museum Association proudly welcomed the arrival of a 1942 Ford fire truck used at Kaiser Shipyard #3! Many thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Anthony D’Ambrosio of Potenza Transport for bringing the truck back to the location where it was used during the home front years.
