Maritime Museum of San Diego
Maritime Museum of San Diego Visit 11/14/17 The visit to the Maritime Museum was loaded with the storied history of ships and sea vessels. The staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. The time flew by and I think you need more than two hours to really see and appreciate everything the Museum has to offer. The weather was fantastic and perfect for our tour. We split into smaller groups of people with different staff members, which provided a more intimate experience. Between the H.M.S. Surprise (pictured at far left), Steam Ferry Berkeley, newly completed San Salvador, Californian, submarines, and other boats, it is a lot to take in. We are lucky to have the Star of India, the oldest active merchant sailing ship in the world as part of the Museum. Although there is still a lot of work to be done, it probably will be ready to set sail in spring 2018. Plan to spend a day at the bay if you visit the Maritime Museum. The flat path
