Red And White Fleet Features The Perfect "Playground" For Educational Field Trips

Jan. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Red And White Fleet has teamed up with the USS Pampanito submarine and Jeremiah O’Brien WWII Liberty Ship to introduce a unique and historical platform for school outings and educational field trips.

For those looking at options for a truly enriching, out-of-the-classroom education, whether it’s the afore-mentioned Pier 45 Combo (with USS Pampanito and Jeremiah O’Brien) or an individual cruise, students will benefit from a bay outing with a choice of Red And White Fleet’s myriad of learning opportunities, as follows:
-   Pier 45 Combo: This fascinating package deal presents the most diversity and greatest value as students dive deep into World War II history while visiting the USS Pampanito submarine and the Jeremiah O'Brien WWII Liberty Ship along Pier 45. The adventure culminates with a cruise aboard Red and White Fleet's Golden Gate Bay Cruise, where the focus is on San Francisco’s rich history.
-   Golden Gate Bay Cruise: As San Francisco's original sightseeing adventure, this one-hour narrated cruise highlights important “landmarks” of San Francisco history, including life at the Barbary Coast during the Gold Rush, the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island's history as an immigration station and the Federal Penitentiary of Alcatraz.
-   San Francisco Explorer Cruise: The focus of this breathtaking 90-minute cruise is on San Francisco's natural history, Native American culture and architecture. On route, students will sail under both spans of the massive Bay Bridge, see Alcatraz and cheer the crowds, as the boat sails next to AT&T Park - home to the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

Red And White’s fleet of boats can accommodate groups of about 300 students each. Larger groups can easily be accommodated with multiple sailings. Additionally, aboard any Red And White Fleet cruise, arrangements can be made for boxed-luncheons, which might include a sandwich, seasonal salad, bag of chips and cookie. Other snacks, beverages and souvenirs are available for sale aboard all Red and White's cruises. Red And White Fleet is also available for private cruises and can host graduation parties and ceremonies as well as choir, club or athletic team outings.
