”Double the impact” of your donation, by giving a charitable gift in 2024.
We are launching our Shipyard 2024 campaign to raise funds for the drydock repairs, maintenance, inspection, and seaworthy improvements of our beloved vessel. And we have some great news for you!
For every dollar you donate, our generous partner, Save America's Treasures, will match it with one more, doubling the impact of your gift. That's right, your $125 donation will turn into a $250 contribution towards our $500K goal. In addition, if your company matches donations it will Triple the Impact to $375 propelling us even further to half-million.
Donate now and let's set sail together!

Cancelled
Living History Cruise
May 4, 2024
aboard the JOHN W BROWN Cruise on the Chesapeake Bay
Cancelled
Project Liberty Ship is confident that the combined efforts of government and private enterprise will reopen the Port of Baltimore in record time. Our hearts go out to the families of the victim and we are awed by the efforts of our emergency responders in their lifesaving efforts. Unfortunately, current circumstances have forced us to make the decision to cancel our Living History Cruise scheduled for May 4th. There is just too much uncertainty to go ahead with the cruise at this time. We also want to make the decision early enough to allow our passengers time to cancel or change their travel plans and for us to avoid financial losses we would face if the cruise was cancelled closer to the scheduled date. All tickets will be fully refunded. Because of uncertainty about the scheduling of our dry docking, it is unlikely that we will be able to schedule another Living History Cruise this fall. We hope to have a big crowd aboard next year.

What is the S.S. JOHN W. BROWN?
Welcome aboard S.S. JOHN W. BROWN, one of only two remaining, fully operational Liberty ships that participated in World War II. This wonderful piece of history provides an educational and historical opportunity for the public to experience 1944 all over again, without the dangers of being sunk by a submarine or a torpedo bomber!
Through the efforts of talented and dedicated volunteers, coupled with the generous financial support of members and friends, S.S. JOHN W. BROWN continues to educate by operating as a historic museum ship, furnishing visitors with a unique opportunity to experience "living history" of the World War II merchant marine.
2022 is our 80th Anniversary; pretty amazing for a ship that was built quickly and was considered 'paid for' if it made one voyage (across the ocean and back). To read more about the history of the ship, click here or the ABOUT tab above.
