USS Mariano G. Vallejo Moved on Mare Island


It was an amazing sight to see the 40-foot tall submarine conning tower and sail from the USS Mariano G. Vallejo submarine being moved to it’s new home on Mare Island. Phil Joy, a house mover from Benicia, donated his expertise, crew and equipment to slowly move the 65-ton sail between buildings and along California Avenue to its new location at Building Waterways 2 adjacent to historic Dry Dock 1. Local residents, workers and business owners gathered to watch history from the Cold War era pass by.
