The USS Potomac, a National Historic Landmark, is berthed at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA, and is owned and managed by the Association for the Preservation of the Presidential Yacht Potomac. The USS Potomac was chosen to be the Presidential Yacht in 1936. The 165 foot, 317- ton vessel served President Franklin Roosevelt from 1936 to 1945 during turbulent times in American and world history. She was used as his recreational escape from the White House, for the entertaining of visiting dignitaries and also for official government business, thus being referred to as the Floating White House.
(This fun promotional offering does not in any way represent actual ownership in the USS Potomac.)
