They Welded the Ships that Won the War.
Now it’s Time to Honor Them.

Help us bring Wendy The Welder to Mare Island.

This large-scale sculpture will stand as a lasting monument to the women of Mare Island who stepped forward when their country needed them. It will honor their courage, their skill, their determination, and their sacrifice—and ensure that future generations remember the vital role they played in American history. These women performed the work that kept America strong.

We need your help to create a permanent tribute to the women who rolled up their sleeves, picked up their tools, and helped build the ships that carried America through World War II.
