Item Description
Experience an unforgettable voyage of discovery and relive history aboard a fully-functioning 1940s era steamship with this Family Membership to the American Victory Ship and Museum!
Victory ships were cargo ships produced during World War II. They were designed to be fast enough to avoid German U-boat attacks.
The SS American Victory was built in 55 days and was delivered to the U.S. War Shipping Administration by the California Shipbuilding Yard on May 24, 1945. After serving in WWII, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the ship went through a $2.5 million restoration in 1985. The SS American Victory is now one of only three fully-functioning Victory ships in the country.
Aboard the American Victory Ship and Museum, visitors can come aboard a fully-functioning 1940s era steamship. They experience an unforgettable voyage of discovery and relive history by visiting cavernous three-level cargo holds, radio and gyro rooms, hospital, galley, weaponry, steering stations, flying bridge, signaling equipment, wheelhouse, mess halls, engine room, crew cabins, lifeboats and cargo equipment. Exhibits feature photographs, uniforms, medals, documents and naval equipment.
