Journey Into History
The U.S.S. Potomac was originally built in 1934 as
the Coast Guard cutter Electra. She was renamed and
converted to the Presidential Yacht U.S.S. Potomac by
Franklin D. Roosevelt as a U.S. Navy vessel in 1936.

Today, beautifully restored, the Potomac is an active
and exciting part of the San Francisco Bay scene.
Dockside tours take place year-round on Wednesdays,
Fridays and Sundays.
Two hour History Cruises occur on San Francisco Bay
on alternate Thursdays and Saturdays. Cruises are
led by our knowledgeable docents. A narrator gives
a commentary on the exciting historical sites on the
Bay. The Potomac also offers free educational
programs for students.
The Association is run almost exclusively by a group
of over 90 dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers.
The ship is available for private events and charters
by contacting the Potomac office.
