Join us at San Francisco Ferry Terminal Gate F at 12:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon, and following a day of adventure and learning, arrives back in San Francisco at 4:45 p.m. While the tour and event is free, participants will need to purchase their own ferry tickets -- so bring your Clipper Card

Once on land, a National Park Service Ranger will greet attendees, who will start a self-guided 90-minute tour of the nearby Rosie the Riveter Visitor Center, complete with interactive and educational exhibits for people of all ages.

During the tour, we'll meet Marian Sousa (age 99) who moved to Richmond, CA when she was 16 to babysit for her sister who was a welder at Kaiser. She then stayed and took a UC Berkeley drafting course. She was then hired at Kaiser Shipyard #3 to make revisions on blueprints during World War II. Also, fellow "Rosie," Jeanne Gibson (age 99) who at 18 year old left college and traveled with a friend from MN to Seattle, WA where they became welders at Todd-Seattle Shipyards building Destroyers. She then ventured north to work in Juneau, Alaska, as a civilian for the Army Transportation Corps’ Embarkation Center. She duplicated manifests and hatch lists of ships sailing to the Pacific with supplies to build outposts on captured islands. Juneau is where she was when V-J Day happened in 1945 and she remembers the celebration included enlisted men cutting the ties off of their superiors.

The event ends with "Refreshments with a Ranger" before heading back to catch the ferry to SF.
