The Red Oak Victory, a WWII ship docked in Richmond, needs extensive repairs as part of the Victory Ship Revival initiative running from Aug. 18-29. The restoration aims to improve the deck, masts, tubs, and smokestacks, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Park. This project involves a partnership with various organizations including the Rosie the Riveter Trust. The ship symbolizes the contributions of women during the war and the resilience of American history.
"This project captures the heart of the National Park. It represents dedication to sharing the story of the home front, collaboration, and the power and ability of women."
"By investing in Red Oak Victory's upkeep, we honor the legacy of the women and men who built her and help secure her place as a landmark of American resilience and ingenuity."
