C.B. Hannegan's Goes to Sea
proving there's no place we don't go
S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien
Named for the American Revolutionary Hero who led American forces in the first naval battle of the Revolution and captured the first British ship of the war, the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien is the last seagoing Liberty Ship. One of 2,742 Liberty Ships built during World War II, the O'Brien took part in the invasion of Normandy, making 11 trips to the beaches with supplies and troops. Refitted and manned by a crew of volunteer seamen (the average age of which was 63 years), she was the only ship to return to Normandy for the 1994 commemorations of D-Day.
C.B. Hannegan's was hired to cater the annual fund raising cruise.
John and Chris and company showed up complete with the Pig Rig,
which was hoisted on board.
