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 the Maritime Museum.
