Star of India (ship)
4.9 (124)museum
4.9 (124)Moored on the waterfront, this 1863 iron-hulled barque is the world’s oldest active sailing ship, open to explore.
Description
Built on the Isle of Man as the Euterpe, the vessel logged 21 circumnavigations, emigrant voyages, and cargo runs before settling on San Diego's North Harbor Drive. As part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the ship lets visitors step through its preserved decks, cabins, and masts. Exhibits stationed along the route document 19th-century maritime history, offering an immersive walk through what long-distance sailing demanded.
