While we're cruising about the Bay, learn how FDR used the Potomac in a bit of subterfuge leading up to his meeting with Winston Churchill, to discuss the Atlantic Charter. Come with us on the USS Potomac to explore the SF Bay, and how it became a very busy hub of WWII. You'll see shipways where newly constructed boats and ships were built and launched.
We'll cruise past the old Naval Air Station, which was a major facility of aircraft repair, and from where Jimmy Doolittle loaded their B-25s aboard the USS Hornet, for our first bombing run over Tokyo.
