Thank you for your interest in the National Park Service's historic ships coming to Mare Island. We share your interest and excitement for their arrival. At this time, we have only received the following information.
Update from NPS:
Final towing plans are being worked out and when favorable weather windows open, the first two ships to depart will be Balclutha and Eppleton Hall. During fall through spring and dependent on maintenance, C.A. Thayer, Hercules, and Eureka will head for Mare Island, but the exact order is not established. Ships slated for the Coal Shed area are Balclutha, Hercules, and C.A. Thayer. Eppleton Hall and Eureka will be berthed north with Eureka on land for work.
