Meticulously constructed by the Maritime Museum of San Diego over six years and US Coast Guard Certified, San Salvador is one of very few early modern replica ships in which members of the public can glimpse through experience what seafaring beyond the known world was like half a millennium ago. The San Salvador vessel represents a time and experience in Pacific maritime history for adventurers young and old. Maritime Museum of San Diego has sailed the California coastline visiting Oxnard, Monterey, Morro Bay, Santa Barbara, San Pedro, the Channel Islands and Ensenada, Mexico. This is her first voyage since 2019 pausing PHT plans due to the pandemic. The Maritime Museum of San Diego's Pacific Heritage 2023 plan allows visitors to explore San Salvador dockside in Santa Barbara and Morro Bay before setting sail for two spectacular voyages allowing the Maritime Museum of San Diego to host a small group of passengers aboard for a rare sailing adventure. During each voyage participants will learn how to sail a galleon, steer with a whipstaff, visit prehistoric archeological sites, learn about the Cabrillo voyages, sixteenth century navigation, shipbuilding, and naval warfare, including actual use of the San Salvador’s formidable battery of artillery. The first San Salvador voyage will depart Monday, August 21 from Morro Bay, California, call in to the Northern Channel Islands and return to Oxnard Saturday, August 26. The second voyage will depart on Sunday, August 27 from Oxnard, call in to the Southern Channel Islands and return to San Diego, California Friday, September 1. As a unique commentary on 2023 Voyage of Exploration multi-night & day voyages, San Salvador will again embark with a group of world-renowned historians and educators who will give lectures to the rest of the ship’s company, along with standing watch, steering, and sail handling with expedition participants. Each 6 day/5-night 2023 Voyage of Exploration is $2,259. per person. Meals and accommodation included. Space is limited. Early reservations are encouraged. Transportation to board or return from the vessel is not included. No sailing experience required. Guests must be twelve and up. Participants are expected to be able to climb unassisted over a Jacobs ladder and will do so before disembarking.
