Some info about the S.S. Lane Victory: Victory class merchant ship launched May 31, 1945. One of 531 hulls built, she sailed as a cargo vessel during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War. She participated in the amphibious evacuation of Wonson and Hungnam during the Korean war, rescuing over 7000 Korean refugees in one trip.

She is currently a museum ship moored today in San Pedro, California and a memorial honoring all merchant seamen. Today the S.S. Lane Victory conducts annual summer “Victory at Sea” cruises enabling today’s generations experience what life at sea was like during the war.
