The Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial

The Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial was dedicated in 1994 to those who died in the Port Chicago disaster. It also highlights the critical role played by Port Chicago, California during World War II. The memorial is located at the Concord Naval Weapons Station near Concord.

The 1944 Port Chicago disaster occurred at the naval magazine and resulted in the largest domestic loss of life during World War II. 320 sailors and civilians were killed on July 17, 1944, when the ships they were loading with ammunition and bombs exploded. The explosion and its aftermath led to the largest Naval mutiny in US history. The mutiny and its subsequent trial became major catalysts for the United States Navy to desegregate following the end of World War II.
