Summer Sailor’s Days for the Whole Family
Maritime Museum is the Place for fun this summer
EMBARCADERO—The Star of India as well as other ships this summer will be having Sailor’s Days every Wednesday, from July 15-August 26. Adults and children alike can experience first hand various activities such as what it is like to make rope for sailing, move cargo, raise and lower huge sails, tie sailor’s knots, climb through a steam engine and many more fun things to see and do. Each child can participate in a scavenger hunt around the ships learning about history while having fun. Each child wins a prize of their choice from our treasure chest.
All activities are included with regular admission prices; adults $14 and children $8. However, tickets purchased on line, in advance (Discovery Package) will include a one hour Historic Boat Cruise around the bay on the Pilot boat. Tickets may be purchased at the gate as well. Rides on the Pilot can be added to regular admission for only $3 more. For more information the public can call: 619-234-9153 ext. 101 or check the Maritime Museum’s website at www.sdmaritime.org.
