San Pedro acquired this military cargo ship in 1998. It was built in Los Angeles in 1945 and served during WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, as well as in times of peace as part of the merchant fleet.
Several times a year it makes a one-day cruise, complete with 1940’s role playing enthusiasts.
They have a large museum below deck.
TW helps out in the Communications Room.
Gives new meaning to the term poop deck.
Strange place for this sign!

The Lane Victory has been in several commercials and movies. The ship’s wakes were used in the 1997 Titanic movie. The engine in the cargo hold was used as the engine for the USS San Pablo in The Sand Pebbles.
