Maritime Museum of San Diego


The Star of India

This is where immigrants slept aboard the Star of India when being brought into America.


























The Surprise.







Cannons aboard the Surprise.












This is where men who were manned on the Submarine slept - very, very, very tight quarters in that sub!







Thursday, January 1, 2009. The first day of the New Year, we headed to San Diego for the Maritime Museum. Talk about a must see place! This was really cool! In the words of the boys, "Wow! A real War Sleuth Pirate Ship!" We toured the Star of India ship, the Surprise which the ship used in the movie Master and Commander w/ Russell Crowe, a Russian Submarine used in the Cold War, and few other small vessels.
