The Maritime Museum of San Diego, established in 1948, preserves one of the largest collections of historic sea vessels in the United States. Located in the San Diego Bay , the centerpiece of the museum's collection is the '' Star Of India '', an 1863 iron Bark . The museum maintains the MacMullen Library and Research Archives aboard the 1898 ferryboat '' Berkeley ''. The museum also publishes the quarterly peer-reviewed journal ''Mains'l Haul: A Journal of Pacific Maritime History''. VESSELS IN THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION
''Not affiliated'' with the Maritime Museum but located a short distance away is the independently operated USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum . Although at first it was feared the Midway would compete with the Maritime Museum for visitors, in fact visitation of the Maritime Museum has increased since the Midway museum opened. |
