It’s a monument to those who built and served on the ships that remain "today as a symbol of national resolve and industrial might that won the Second World War.” The museum is a non-profit run by volunteers who share it’s history and significance and partners with Rosie the Riveter Trust to begin the first phase of renovation. There are self-guided or docent led tours and out reach to the community for events.
