Maritime Museum of San Diego
1492 N. Harbor Drive
San Diego, CA, 92101
It's very exciting to board a ship built on the Isle of Man in 1863. You can do this at the Maritime Museum of San Diego, where the "Star of India" sits in the harbor near the airport. This ship is the world's oldest active ship, and is still sailed today in honor of her hard-luck, but glorious past. The museum also provides access to other fine historic ships, including the 1914 harbor boat, "Pilot," the 1904 steam yacht "Medea" and the 1898 steam ferry "Berkeley." Incredible replica ships also exist at the museum, featuring reproductions of "Californian," a revenue cutter from the 19th century and the "HMS Surprise," a Royal Navy ship that would have sailed in the 18th century. The five galleries display the topics of San Diego's Navy, Charting the Sea, The Age of Steam and the Age of Sail, and Harvesting the Ocean. The "Star of India" ship portrays the Age of Sail, as it was during the time period of the mid-1800's that the ships upon the ocean used this method as their force of movement. The exhibits here show how sailors lived and worked on the ships. The "Berkeley" steamboat focuses on the Age of Steam and shows how using steam affected the new way to transport goods according to more precise schedules. Charting the Sea displays maps, charts and instruments to get from here to there on the ocean. Once a hub of exploration, San Diego is now much more of a destination for research expeditions into the ocean. Tuna was king in San Diego at one time and the Harvesting the Ocean museum section shows the rise and fall of this industry. As a home for the largest naval base of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific, San Diego has a colorful and proud history defending our nation. This city has both benefited and contributed to the safety of our nation with the presence of the Navy. If you and your apartment buddies would like to recognize a valuable part of San Diego's history, visit the Maritime Museum of San Diego.
