The Location

Mare Island Naval Shipyard, established in 1854, was the first naval facility on the Pacific Coast. At one point in its history, more than 40,000 men and women worked at the island’s drydocks, shops and warehouses. The Navy closed its doors in 1996, surrendering it, in various parcels, to the City of Vallejo in the subsequent years. and the U.S. Navy’s flag was lowered for the last time on April 19, 2002 at the former naval shipyard.
