    This is an interpretive sign at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial, managed by the National Park Service. The sign, titled 'Dangerous Work,' describes the events of July 17, 1944, when enlisted men — predominantly African American — were loading ammunition onto two ships, the SS Quinault Victory and the SS E.A. Bryan, when a catastrophic explosion occurred. The sign includes historical photographs, descriptive text, and a diagram showing the cargo load distribution across the ships' holds.
