The SS PAN AMERICAN VICTORY was one of the last Victory Ship left a float. She served gallantly during WWII then was laid up in 1946 in the US Navy Reserve Fleet in Sinsun Bay California 1946-2009. She deserved to be made into a museum ship where people could walk her wood decks and feel the ocean rocking the old ship in her berth. It would have been nice to have saved her for the next generation to see how WWII was won by the US Merchant Navy. Thanks Bill Layton |
