Star of India at the Maritime Museum of San Diego

The Star of India, built in 1863 and preserved by the Maritime Museum of San Diego, is berthed on the Embarcadero and is widely recognized as one of the oldest active iron-hulled merchant sailing ships in the world. The vessel is a centerpiece of the Maritime Museum's collection and regularly appears in museum programming and public dockside display. The Maritime Museum operates multiple historic vessels and exhibits at its site on San Diego's waterfront.
