The Maritime Museum is located on the west side of Harbor Drive, south of San Diego International Airport. The museum is dedicated to collecting and preserving the rich Maritime historic values of the City. It was established in 1948.
The biggest attraction to the museum is the historic ships. Here, you’ll find five great examples of
maritime vessels - Berkeley, Californian, Medea, Pilot, and the Star of India. The centerpiece of the museum’s collection is the Star of India an 1863 iron bark.
The Naval technology is found all around the museum. The ambience is very good and the staff of the museum is very helpful and friendly. The staff is always willing to answer questions about the museum anytime. The museum is located around many other attractions, and people need not go only to the museum but they can visit lots other places along with the museum.
If you and your family and friends are in the San Diego area do not forget to visit the Maritime Museum. If you have kids with you it will be more fun for you to visit as the kids love to see the ships on display. Along with the Maritime Museum you should also visit the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, which is very close to the Maritime Museum and is just a short distance away.
