OUR SHARED COMMITMENT AT THE

Lane Victory Maritime Center

To Restore, Maintain, and Operate the SS Lane Victory, and to provide a living historical monument and museum dedicated to the recognition, contributions and achievements made by American Merchant Mariners and Naval Armed Guard.

This way, the public can enjoy the Lane Victory as she serves in her role as a living historical monument, memorial space, and museum highlighting the crucial contributions and sacrifices of the U.S. Merchant Marine Service and the U.S. Naval Armed Guard in protecting this country and maintaining vital supply lines during times of war.

The SS Lane Victory is manned by volunteers, and in addition to its historical significance, provides a training site for fire, police, port security, and military personnel, as well as a center of historical education for maritime students, schools, scout groups and the general public.
