The Star of India is a historic iron-hulled sailing ship built in 1863, now permanently docked as a museum at the San Diego Maritime Museum. Visitors can explore its decks, cargo holds, and crew quarters, learning about its voyages around the world, including transporting emigrants and cargo. The ship is fully rigged and sails occasionally, making it one of the oldest active sailing vessels. Its well-preserved interior offers a vivid glimpse into 19th-century maritime life.
