Docent Training Series

The Maritime Museum of San Diego invites new volunteers to train as docents and help bring maritime history to life at Star of India Wharf.

Through an engaging 11-week series of lectures, readings, and guided tours aboard historic vessels, participants learn to interpret artifacts, guide visitors, and share the rich seafaring heritage preserved within the Museum’s fleet. Trainings are held consecutive Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from January 20-March 31, 2026 at the Maritime Museum on the upper deck of the 1898 Victorian-era steam ferryboat Berkeley. Share stories, lead tours, and inspire visitors while helping preserve our maritime heritage. No experience needed—just enthusiasm and a passion for the sea! Interested members of the community must register online in advance of training.

Registration closes Friday, January 16, 2026.
