Project Liberty Ship welcomes all veterans, their guests, and active-duty military personnel to our annual Veterans Day cruise. It is our way of recognizing and honoring the contributions of our veterans, in war and peace, throughout our history as a nation.

In the past, Project Liberty Ship offered this event to veterans only. Due to age and infirmity, however, we encourage each veteran to bring one paying guest over the age of 12. Current active-duty military personnel in uniform are also welcome.

There is a nominal $20 (non-refundable) charge for each person making the cruise.

Please note the following:

• Passengers should arrive at the Cruise Maryland Terminal (on McComas Street just off I-95) no later than 9:00 am. Passengers will be able to board from 0800 (8:00 am) to 0930 (9:30 am). The cruise departs at 1000 (10:00 am).
  
  
• The cruise will include a memorial service and wreath-laying. Refreshments will be available and the ship will be open for tours.
  
  
• The BROWN will return to the North Locust Point Marine Terminal. The approximate cruise time is two hours.
