Elderly veterans restore WWII ship [audio 6min]

On the quiet docks of Richmond, Calif., the horn of the SS Red Oak Victory blasts a defiant call across the San Francisco Bay. The ship was named after the small town in Iowa that suffered the greatest loss of life per capita of any American town during WWII. On its rusting deck, three elderly men strain to move a heavy steel staircase for repainting. The men, veteran sailors and soldiers, average age 70, volunteer long hours in a decade-long drive to preserve and renovate the Red Oak as a floating museum. They want to honor the men and women who built these ships during WWII. Webpage includes extended report by Richard Gonzales, photos.
