Military Jeeps on the SS Jeremiah O'Brien

Paul Barry from Willys America and his wife Jane discovered these two jeeps on the SS Jeremiah O'Brien. Moored at Pier 45 in San Francisco, it's the last unaltered Liberty Ship from WWII. These days it operates as a living museum teaching tourists. You can learn more at the SS Jeremiah O'Brien website.

This is one of two surviving operational Liberty ships, the other being the S.S. John W. Brown working as a living-history museum in the Baltimore (MD) harbor complete with a 6 hr. cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. I would encourage everyone to visit either of these awesome liberty ships if at all possible. The cruise entertainment package includes (actors portraying) Gen. MacArthur and FDR that requires a jeep escort for their arrival at the gangway. Several jeeps provide a fitting military escort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXzehKxiGGo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7x8_F43ybY
