San Diego and on the Boat!

The pride of The San Diego Maritime Museum

The Star of India

 One of the visiting tall ships.

 HMS Surprise. This vessel was featured in the movie Master and Commander.Very authentic except on gun deck the walkway around the twelve pounders did not exist.

 Surprise at the gun deck.

 A Russian submarine that was built in 1972. One of the last non nuclear subs built by the major powers.

 Inside the sub. While in New London I toured an old diesel boat and was amazed at how cramped the quarters were.This submarine was spacious by comparison. The Ohio Class of todays fleet are huge by comparison.

 On board the replica of America, built in 1965 was a copy of the schooner that one the Auld Mug for the first several times and became the Americas Cup.

 In the main salon were the half models of past Americas Cup winners.

 Another view of the Russian attack sub. Built in 1972.

 Skyward on the Star.
