About SS Lane Victory

SS Lane Victory is an American Victory-class cargo ship used in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. The ship was preserved in 1989 to serve as a museum ship in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles, California. As a rare surviving Victory ship, she was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

SS Lane Victory was named after Lane College, which was established as a high school for black youths in 1882 at Jackson, Tennessee, by Isaac Lane, a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America.
