SS JOHN W. BROWN is now permanently berthed at Pier 13, 4601
Newgate Avenue in Baltimore, about 1.5 miles southwest of her former berth at
Pier C. (Directions from Pier C: south on South Clinton Street, left on Keith
Avenue, right on New Vail Street which becomes Newgate Avenue after a right
turn, to the pier on the left.) JWB shares the pier with NS SAVANNAH.
Project Liberty Ship volunteers who wish to sail with the
ship must attend a crew training and safety session or risk being placed low in
priority for selection as crew for a cruise. Training sessions are held aboard
the ship prior to each steaming season. Contact Project Liberty Ship by
telephone (410-558-0646) or e-mail (john.w.brown@usa.net) for information about
future training sessions.
Reminder: Alumni Association members who are also members
of Project Liberty Ship and who wish to sail with the ship must have or obtain
current CPR certification. Contact Project Liberty Ship by telephone
(410-558-0646) or via e-mail (john.w.brown@usa.net) for more information or to
schedule attendance in a Baltimore-area class. CPR classes are held
periodically aboard the ship or at MITAGS (Maritime Institute of Technology and
Graduate Studies) outside Baltimore and are free of charge. If you already have
a valid CPR certificate, or if you obtain one on your own, be sure to bring
your certificate with you the next time you visit the ship so a copy can be
made for PLS files.
Volunteers participating in out-of-town work parties or
sailing aboard JOHN W. BROWN on Living History Cruises will be expected to make
a donation to defray the cost of meals served aboard the ship. Remember to
bring cash or your checkbook.
