Riggers need for Maintenance and Repair of a Historic WWII Ship!
ORGANIZATION: RICHMOND MUSEUM ASSN INC
Please visit the new page to apply.
The SS Red Oak Victory is looking for Riggers to help us repair and maintain the lifting gear on our floating museum!
Built-in 1944, this ship was assembled in pieces, and then sections were lifted by crane into place and welded into their final configuration. The ship has a number of holds and the lifting gear is incredibly important for ongoing restoration efforts and in helping volunteers achieve loading necessary equipment, often too heavy to carry onboard.
Fun and educational opportunity for internships, or a great way to give back to the community!
Interested volunteers should have a general knowledge of work safety training, and are required to adhere to all CDC work guidelines.
