Pretty sure this is the one Glenn posted, made in Richmond.
The SS lane victory was built in the port of Los Angeles.
Remember the movie Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen?
The hollywood mock engine from the san Pablo in the movie where the coolie gets killed is on the Lane Victory.
Quote:
Lane Victory has been used in many movies, TV shows and commercials because of her excellent working condition.[12]
The ship's wakes were used in the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic for the titular ocean liner's wakes.[13]
She also served as the setting for the climax of the comedy film The Pest the same year.
Other films in which the ship appeared are: Black Ops (Deadwater) (2008), Flags of Our Fathers (2006), GI Jane (1997), Pearl Harbor (2001), The Thin Red Line (1998) and U-571 (2000). (note: this is a partial list)
Some TV shows she was featured in are: Alias, Baywatch, California Gold, Mail Call (episode #70), MacGyver, Murder She Wrote, the National Geographic Channel, NCIS, Port Chicago Mutiny (TV movie), Return of the Pirates (History Channel), Special Ops Mission and Unsolved Mysteries. In the Season 6 King of the Hill episode "Returning Japanese: Part 2" (2002), Cotton is sent back to the U.S. aboard Lane Victory. (note: this is a partial list)
In 1999 the ship was used in a Ford Super Duty commercial and Disney's "Golden Dreams" commercial. (note: this is a partial list)
The engine housed in Lane Victory's forward hold exhibit space was used as the engine for the fictitious gunboat USS San Pablo in The Sand Pebbles (1966).[14]
