Maritime Museum San Diego

Since 1948, the Maritime Museum located in San Diego

has served the city in many big ways. The museum here

is dedicated to collecting and preserving the rich

maritime heritage and historic values of the city -

then presenting it to the public.

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.

All across the museum you can find many examples of

Naval technology and ships of the past. The guides

at the Maritime Museum are very friendly and helpful,

willing to answer any question that you may have.

Nearby to the museum, you have several attractions

and things to see. With the museum being in the

downtown area of San Diego, it's very close to some

of the other things that San Diego is so very well

known for.

If you happen to be on vacation in San Diego, make

sure you visit the Maritime Museum. Kids love to

see the ships on display, as well as the USS Midway

Aircraft Carrier Museum, which is a short walk from
