Star of India (ship)
Star of India
was built in 1863 at
Ramsey
in the
Isle of Man
as
Euterpe
, a full-rigged iron
windjammer
ship. After a full career sailing from Great Britain to India and New Zealand, she became a
salmon
hauler on the
Alaska
to
California
route. Retired in 1926, she was not restored until 1962–63 and is now a seaworthy
museum ship
home-ported at the
Maritime Museum of San Diego
in
San Diego, California
. She is the oldest ship still sailing regularly and also the oldest iron-hulled merchant ship still floating. The ship is both a
California Historical Landmark
and United States
National Historic Landmark
.
