From the March 1, 2016, Contra Times (Cal.) "Historic World War II Cargo Ship to land in new resting place in Port of Richmond" by Sarah Tan.
The SS Red Oak Victory is moving to basin 5.
Riggers Loft Wine Co. wanted the ship's relocation so its customers have a better view of the bay.
The Red Oak Victory was built in Richmond and is one of the last surviving ships built at the Kaiser Richmond shipyards during the war.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
