I have done my best to build a strong foundation for this organization without asking others for help until a plan is more established; I am not willing to ask for money regardless of if I have the full ability to fundraise with our GoFundMe and Zeffy campaigns ready to launch, and tax exemptions approved with the IRS and various departments and agencies within California. This project will need much more help than money and I would love to hear from anyone with experience.

I did not aim to be a website developer or even the founder of a nonprofit; I just want to walk the deck of a Passaic-Clas Iron-Clad as close to what my 3G-Grandfather Lewis would have in 1863. Having the ability to build one right here in my home state of California would be an amazing feat. As a fifth-generation Californian I love this State from the very top to the very bottom and want to share the incredible story of the Passaic Iron-Clads and especially the USICS Camanche - “Defender of the Golden Gate.”

If you are even slightly interested, please send us a message and see how you can get involved as we build an incredible monument to California’s stand for freedom and liberty with our own Iron-Clad Monitor - our own Passaic of the Pacific.
