United States lightship Relief
United States lightship Relief, Museum ship in Oakland, United States
The United States lightship Relief measures 128 feet in length, featuring a welded steel hull, two steel masts, and a complete navigation light system.
Built in 1950 by Rice Brothers Corporation, this vessel served at Overfalls station near Delaware Bay until 1960 before relocating to the west coast.
The Relief represents the last generation of United States Coast Guard lightships that guided maritime traffic through dangerous waters before modern navigation systems.
Visitors can explore the vessel at Jack London Square in Oakland on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm and Wednesdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
This National Historic Landmark sits next to President Franklin Roosevelt's former yacht Potomac, creating a significant maritime heritage display in Oakland's waterfront.
