Living historians will also present showing the uniforms and equipment of the Vietnam War. Live 1960s Rock 'n Roll and a hotdog / chips / soda / beer lunch will be offered, too.

A unique art, music, and dance venue in the Bay Area—The 1944 “SS Red Oak Victory”!

 The ambience of this genuine World War II Victory Ship and the surrounding historic Kaiser Shipyards will transport you back in time to World War II.  You can almost hear the clang of hammers on metal and the staccato of rivet guns.  Or maybe the sounds of the Glenn Miller orchestra coming from a radio.  No matter how she speaks to you, the SS Red Oak Victory is an attraction you will want to return to again and again.  Come tour the ship with your family and see our interesting and educational exhibits.  Or come to enjoy one our many special events throughout the year.
