Potomac Presidential yacht, Oakland (3099)

Potomac Presidential yacht, Oakland (3099)
USS Potomac, a yacht that served as Presidential yacht for FDR from 1936 to 1945. After FDR's death it was decommisioned by the Navy, owned by various people (including Elvis Presley) and even involved in drug-smuggling. In 1980 it was seized by the Customs Service but sank. The Port of Oakland bought it and restored it. It is now docked at Jack London Square and open to the public.
