Port Chicago – 1. Introduction
Read the Treasure Island Museum's statement on Black Lives Matter.
The Port Chicago Story is a collaboration of the Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial - National Park Service, the San Francisco Public Library and the Treasure Island Museum, with support from the Treasure Island Development Authority and funding from the Historic Preservation Fund of the City of San Francisco. The exhibition was curated by NPS and fabricated and installed by SFPL. It opened in February 2019, the 75th anniversary year of the explosion and trial, in connection with a public symposium at the museum. The library mounted a copy of the exhibition in their Main Branch in July 2019, the 75th anniversary month of the explosion. That copy may be available for loan to qualified venues; contact Treasure Island Museum.
