Memorial Day May 25, 2026

All of the staff and volunteers at the SS Jeremiah O'Brien would like to both honor and mourn men and women of the military who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Please take a moment and give some thought to those that gave everything, many of whom never returned, their sacrifices made this country what it is. Memorial Day was first celebrated in the 1860's following the Civil War, and it always falls on the last Monday of May. It became an official national holiday in 1971.

The O'Brien will follow protocol by flying our American Flags at half mast until noon and then they will be raised at full mast. The ship will be open on Monday from 10:00 to 5:00 with the Navy Gate on the Embarcadero closing at 4:00.

Rich Reed Visits Us

Rich Reed a past crew member who was the boatswain on the 1994 Normandy Voyage, pictured here with ship's keeper Phil O'Mara. He was aboard the JOB from San Francisco to Le Havre, Normandy. Rich and his wife were on the cruise ship Celebrity Summit that was berthed next to us at Pier 35. He moved ton Hawaii after retiring from SUP (Sailor's Union of the Pacific) twelve years ago. He had previously worked as a Merchant Marine, then drove pilot boats for the Pilot Masters out of Pier 9.

He remembered Bill Greg from his Pilot Boat days, and he was his favorite back then. He was shocked and delighted that Bill is now the Chairman of the JOB. Marty Wefald (a previous JOB boatswain referred to him as "The Bosuns Bosun"

Has Chonkers visited the Jeremiah O'Brien? We're only one pier away.. probably the best viewing spot would be portside on the Flying Bridge! (It helps if you have a spare sardine in your pocket...)
