Hosted by Port Chicago Alliance | Free & Open to the Public

“Remembering the Unknown Sailor” is a powerful remembrance program to honor the lives lost in the Port Chicago disaster of July 17, 1944. Continuing the tradition once led by longtime Port Chicago advocate Sandra Evers-Manly, this free public gathering takes place at the final resting place of many Sailors who perished that day — some of whom were laid to rest beneath headstones marked only “Unknown Sailor.”

Each year on this solemn anniversary, we gather at the cemetery not only to pay our respects, but to tell the stories behind those anonymous markers, to restore names, voices, and dignity to the young men whose identities were lost to history and whose memory deserves to be preserved.

“Remembering the Unknown Sailor” is a call to remembrance, a tribute to sacrifice, and a step toward justice through recognition. All are welcome to join us in bearing witness and honoring these fallen heroes.
