Californian was built at Spanish Landing in San Diego Bay in 1984. She was launched
with great fanfare for the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Since her launching,
the ship has played host to thousands of school children on seagoing educational programs
up and down the West Coast.
She has also made voyages to Hawaii, Mexico and the East Coast of the United States.
Californian is a replica of the 1847 Revenue Cutter,/i>, C.W. Lawrence, a stately vessel
that patrolled the coast of California, keeping law and order. The Revenue Service was
a precursor to today's Coast Guard.
The museum’s collection also includes the 1898 steam ferry Berkeley, the 1904 steam
yacht Medea, the Surprise from Russell Crowe’s movie Master & Commander, and
the 1914 Pilot.
The museum displays permanent and temporary exhibits, hosts educational and public programs
for all ages, stages cultural events, and publishes a newsletter and peer-reviewed journal,
all with a maritime theme relating to the museum’s mission.
The Maritime Museum of San Diego is located at 1492 North Harbor Drive in Downtown
San Diego. For more information, please call (619) 234-9153 or visit the museum’s Web
