As we posted yesterday, over last weekend, the Maritime Museum of San Diego celebrated the 155th birthday of the Star of India by taking her for a sail. Here is nicely done, roughly ten-minute, video by Barrett Canfield of Sunday’s sail on the grand old ship. The museum’s other ships Californian, San Salvador, and America can be seen sailing along with with the Star of India.

I think I spotted a liferaft pod between the masts… women and children first 🙂
