The City of Richmond and the Port of Richmond are celebrating “one of California’s most
historic and active seaports,” while at the same time planning to dismantle the Shipyard 3 Historic Engagement Area, part of Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park, by moving the Red Oak Victory and demolishing the Whirley Crane.
The formerly active and popular Riggers Loft has already been forced out of business by the City. See the following for more details:
- Activate Shipyard 3 Historic Engagement
Area, August 16, 2026 - ROV Cost-Benefit Analysis, August 5,
2016 - Demolition of the Whirley Crane, August
2, 2026 - Rosie the Riveter
WWII Home Front National Historical Park, August 2, 2026
I plan to be at the Port of Richmond Office (in the Riggers Loft building) on September 26, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to protest the dismantling of Shipyard 3 Historic Engagement Area and hand out
informational flyers to the public. If you would like to join me, please let me know. And, there is a free lunch!
