SS Red Oak Victory is a preserved Second World War cargo ship at Richmond's historic Shipyard 3.

Confirm the current weekend opening schedule and tour choices before boarding; winter hours are shorter. Access involves a substantial stair gangway and shipboard ladders, so review mobility and age restrictions for particular tours. Engine-room access and special events follow their own arrangements rather than ordinary waterfront access.
