We are happy to announce our official re-opening on May 9th, 2021! We are looking for deck hands to work aboard the historic SS Red Oak Victory Ship! Our deck crew is a vital part of our organization and helps support the restoration and maintenance of our 75 year old vessel. We are working towards our goal of being able to re-light off the engines and operate the ship out on open waters again, as well as serve as an alternative event and historical educational space. Examples of current deck department work jobs include restoration work on decks and cabins, operating the ship's original 1944 winches, maintaining lines and equipment, adhering to Coast Guard regulations and education, and our latest project of re-installing one of ship's original 5 inch turret guns. This is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience to work on a National Historical Landmark and 1 of 3 last remaining WWII Victory ships in the world! Relevant Mariner experience, or previous experience in restoration, historical preservation, or other experience a plus but not necessary. All trainings provided onboard. Due to the unique nature of the work environment, this opportunity is best suited for individuals who are able to perform job functions in a range of motions, the ability to lift a minimum of 35lbs with/or without assistance, the ability to use ladders or work in small or cramped areas for periods of time. Because our vessel is an original WWII model we cannot accommodate ADA occupancy at this time. The SS Red Oak Victory is open to the public on Saturdays from 10am-4pm and will officially re-open on July 4th, 2020. The health and safety of our guests and crew is our top priority and our we are adhering to Contra Costa and CDC National Museum re-opening guidelines.

We are happy to announce the official re-opening of the Red Oak Victory Ship to the public on May 9th, 2021! The SS Red Oak Victory is looking for welders to help us restore and maintain our floating museum! Do you have a current welder certification? Built in 1944, this ship was assembled in pieces, and then sections were lifted by crane into place and welded into their final configuration. We are looking for welders who have stick welding or other welding experience to assist on some restoration projects aboard. We are currently operating on 2 1940s DC-powered welding machines. 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.
