Directions:

For GPS information enter 707 W Hornet Ave. Pier 3, Alameda CA 94501.

From San Francisco and the Bay Bridge: Cross the Bay Bridge towards Oakland and follow the signs for I-880 South/San Jose/Alameda. Take the Broadway/Alameda exit and turn right at the bottom of the ramp onto 5th Street. Continue straight on 5th Street, remaining on street level. At the Broadway intersection, veer to your left to enter the Webster Street Tube (the Alameda entrance to the tunnel is under the freeway).

This National Historic Landmark has four decks to explore and photograph. Some decks are docent-led only. So manage your time carefully if you intend to see it all. The ship will be commemorating it’s 69th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid with flight operation simulations. This should be interesting to photograph.We are asked to not bring food. However, there is a concession stand and vending machines on board.

Alan Heald, Chair

Since the club now holds just three of these events a year, it behooves our print makers to mark this date down on their calendars. Of course, it also means that it is time to begin warming up those printers so you can make some prints to show to the group.

In any case, as of this moment, you cannot claim to have been left out in the dark about Print Night. There is still plenty of time to come up with some images to show to the group!
