Project Liberty Ship welcomes all veterans 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 age 12 and older. Current active-duty military personnel 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 North Locust Point Marine Terminal (just off Exit 55 from I-95) between 7:00 am and 9:00 am. Driving directions will be sent with your tickets. Passengers will be able to board from 8:00 am to 9:30 am. The cruise departs at 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 at about 12:00 noon. The approximate cruise time is two hours.

• Please see the additional information available on this website for more details about the Veterans' Day cruise.

• Tickets are available by mail order only. Download the Veterans' Day Celebration order form, complete the form and mail the form and your check to Project Liberty Ship; our mailing address is on the order form. All ticket orders must be made by mail; we will not accept telephone orders. All orders for tickets must be received by October 24, 2009.

• Due to port security policy, we need the names of all passengers for entry into the port facilities. Only the names provided will be permitted access to the pier and the ship. The name provided must exactly match the name on your photo ID.

• Tickets and driving directions will be mailed within two weeks of the receipt of your order. If you supply an e-mail address when ordering your ticket(s), we will send an "e-ticket" by e-mail, which saves the cost of postage for Project Liberty Ship.

This event is organized and sponsored by Project Liberty Ship, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Liberty ship JOHN W. BROWN as a living, steaming World War II Memorial and Museum Ship in Baltimore.
