Get your sea legs ready - the Maritime Museum is not only about ships, it is housed within floating ships in the harbor. It has five historic vessels to explore , including the fully rigged Star of India , a Clipper ship built in 1863, the Berkeley , an old San Francisco-Oakland ferry built in 1898, and the Medea , a steam ship from Scotland built in 1904. The Star of India gets the highest... more

Towers of masts and billowing clouds of canvas sails make this Harbor Drive landmark so much more than a standard-issue tourist spot. Six ships comprise the museum's fleet, each with its own personality and back story. But the majestic Star of India (pictured) stands out as a jewel in San Diego's oceanfront crown. Built in 1863, she circled the globe 21 times, achieved National and State... more

You can see it when you fly into San Diego Airport. You can see it when you drive south into downtown from Interstate 5. At night it glows, draped with strings of soft light. And, hands down, it's the crown jewel of the Maritime Museum of San Diego's eight-vessel fleet. This wonderful, welcoming, somewhat mysterious San Diego icon is the majestic Star of India, the jewel of the Maritime Museum... more

This flotilla of classic ships is led by the full-rigged merchant vessel Star of India (1863), a National Historic Landmark and the world's oldest ship that still goes to sea. The gleaming white San Francisco-Oakland steam-powered ferry Berkeley (1898) worked round-the-clock to carry people to safety following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake; you'll find a museum with fine ship models on... more

I love this museum and highly recommend you check it out. It is located next to the Star of India right downtown on the water.

There are many ships/boats, all with their own historical significances. I can't name all the ships at the top of my head but there's the Star of India and the Berkeley. They are great fun. They add a touch of historical nostalgia as a San Diegan. It's at such a good price too to see all of those ships/ boats. Aside from all the museum exhibition in, out, and around the ships, there's also the... more

The San Diego Maritime Museum is a great place to visit for kids and adults alike. They have many ships there that you can board and explore. There is even one 18th century Royal Navy Frigate thats anchored there that is amazing and takes you to a trip into the past. There is only one admission fee which allows you access to all the ships in the harbor.
