The Maritime Museum of San Diego enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence in restoring, maintaining and operating historic vessels. The museum has one of the world's finest collections of historic ships, including the Star of India, the world's oldest active sailing vessel as documented in the Guinness Book of World Records. Star of India is a 1,197-ton iron barque built in 1863. Visitors may tour a range of historic vessels from sail to steam to submarine; taking visitors back in time to explore 500 years of seafaring history.

The Maritime Museum of San Diego displays dozens of permanent and temporary exhibits featured below deck and within customized gallery spaces. Exhibits focus on maritime history, art, photography, naval artifacts, commercial fishing, commerce, transportation and exploration.

Premise of the Museum: The history of human achievement is defined in large measure by the historical relationship with the sea. Not only has the sea determined the progress and shape of civilization, our understanding of that relationship and our responsibilities for stewardship of the oceans will determine our future. The role of any maritime museum is translation between human experience of the oceans and our understanding of their nature. This is accomplished through the exhibits.
