The origin of the term “plank owner” is the implication that a crew member was around when the ship was being built and commissioned, and therefore has bragging rights to the “ownership” of one of the planks in the main deck. Major donors will receive special recognition based on donation tiers, including a plank owner certificate.

In addition to monetary contributions, we have several great Tun™ themed products that you can choose from.  All proceeds go directly to our mission of restoring The Tun™.  Several of our products can be customized with the logo of our heritage organizations – United States Marines, Pennsylvania Freemasons, St. Andrew’s Society, Society of St. George, The Friendly Sons and Daughters of St. Patrick, United States Navy.  Click on the Customize and Order button to learn more, customize, and purchase.
