Welcome to the S.S. LANE VICTORY, one of the few remaining WW II Cargo Vessels that carried the materials of war to our Armed Forces in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Launched in 1945 at Cal Shipyard of Los Angeles, she makes her home in San Pedro and Los Angeles Harbor.  As a National Historic Landmark , she is a floating Maritime Museum ship that makes Summer Cruises to Catalina. Guided tours tell the ship’s war time history in the personal terms of the Merchant Mariners and Naval Armed Guard veterans who served their nation faithfully and with extraordinary valor.

As a Hollywood movie and TV set, the vessel is recognized for its convenient location. It is thirty miles from Hollywood and just fourteen miles south of LAX. A great site for meetings and conferences.  Come aboard and relive history. Owned and operated by the U.S. Merchant Marine Veterans of WW II, LANE VICTORY is a tax-exempt non profit educational institution and welcomes your membership and support.
