When talking about ships in Long Beach Harbor, most people think about the Queen Mary. While a wonderful experience, there is a lesser known ship that has a fascinating history.
Built in 1945, the S.S. Lane Victory served with distinction during World War II, The Korean War, and the Vietnam War as well as in times of peace as part of the merchant fleet. A nationally recognized historic landmark, the S.S. Lane Victory now serves as a living museum and memorial to the service of Merchant Marine sailors and Navy Armed Guardsmen.
