Every Tuesday, Lou Berg comes to the SS Red Oak Victory Ship and helps out with restoring the historic vessel. He took a little time to take Richmond Confidential on a tour of the floating museum, docked at Terminal 2. With very few funds, the volunteers’ ultimate goal is to be able get the ship seaworthy, so that it can make short trips around the Bay.
