SS Red Oak Victory is a U.S. military cargo ship that was used during World War II. The ship was built by the Permanente Metals Corporation and is the last surviving ship that was built in the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards during that time. It was saved from the Naval Reserve Fleet and is now a monument dedicated to the people who worked in war-related industries. There are so many amazing aspects of the ship which you can explore including working cranes, the Captain’s quarters, the bridge, a theatre, a great dance floor, a fascinating engine room, and a working 1944 Morse tube radio which can still receive emails and text messages.
