It is hard to believe but the end of summer is coming quickly and that means the last couple Pancake Breakfasts on the Red Oak Victory, too. Join us for breakfast on Sunday, September 17 and listen to the good ol’ summertime sounds of the Mission Gold Jazz Band.

And for a special added attraction, the Summer in America Costume Contest will be held on Red Oak VIctory during the pancake breakfast!

The rules are simple: Put together any costume that represents all the things we love about summer in America. We’ll leave it open to your creativity but here are some ideas:

The Beach

Playing or Watching Baseball

Outdoor BBQ

Boating and Fishing

Red Oak Victory Pancake Breaskfasts, of course!

We only have a couple of rules: Please dress modestly since this is a family event and please, no bare feet, flip-flops, sandals, or open-toed shoes. Those can be dangerous on the steel ladders of a ship.

The contest will have four winners: 1st , 2nd, and 3rd prize for individual costumes and best family costume. 1st place wins a $50 gift certificate for the Red Oak Victory Ship’s Store, 2nd place is a $25 certificate, third place is a $10 certificate, and the best family costume wins a $100 gift certificate. You can use your certificate the day that you win it by visiting the newly redesigned Ship’s Store in Hold No. 4 or online at shop.redoakvictory.us.

Your breakfast and donation to the ship is only $15 for adults and $5 for children 8 and under. Breakfast service begins at 9:00 AM and ends at 12:30 PM. For an extra breakfast pick-me-up, Mimosas will be available for a small additional charge for our adult patrons.

A limited number of specially priced tickets will also be available for guests wishing to take a docent-led tour of the ship. But you’d better buy those right away! The tour tickets have sold out in the first couple weeks for most of our Pancake Breakfasts.

Our radio room will be in operation so you can send a radiogram to anyone in the world. Imagine you are on a world cruise in the 1930s and have the crew send your message via our original, Morse code-only ship’s radio. Just fill out the radiogram form including the recipient’s email or phone number and we’ll take care of the rest at no charge!

Red Oak Victory is located in the perfect spot for all around views of the entire San Francisco Bay Area. So you’ll want to arrive early to reserve your seat with the best view!

Most of our events sell out ahead of time. We therefore strongly encourage you to purchase your tickets early because once they’re gone, they’re gone!
