   Now, finding the ship is not hard but it is tricky, especially if you make your first visit in the dark.  Here’s what to do:

Canal Street in Richmond is right at the end of Richmond Parkway.  It is the main street in the Port of Richmond.  Follow it to the very end where you will be stopped by a gate and fence.  The ARCO Marine Terminal is on your left.  Just before you get to the gate there is a road that goes to the right.  There is a small sign that points to the SS Red Oak Victory, Shipyard 3.  There is also a bigger sign that says “MSRC”.  Follow these to the right.  The road will wind around car lots and boats.  You will think you are lost but fear not.  After 1.3 miles following this road and the occasional small signs for the SS Red Oak you will arrive at a gate behind which sits the ship.  There is a sign on the gate announcing the regular hours for the shipboard museum.  Enter the gate and park.  Then, it’s up the gangplank and you’re on board.
Directions Per Our Cast Member Will Southard.
