Launched in 1863, the Star of India still sails the seas, making it the oldest active sailing ship in the world!
Before being renamed, this majestic ship was known as the Euterpe, named after the Greek muse of music.
The Star of India has impressively circumnavigated the globe 21 times!
In the late 1800s, the Star of India played a vital role in transporting immigrants to New Zealand, shaping the country's history.
Legend has it that the ship is haunted by the spirit of a young sailor who died on board during its early voyages.
Recognized for its historical significance, the Star of India was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
After years of neglect, the ship was restored by the Maritime Museum of San Diego and has been a star attraction since 1959.
Before becoming a museum ship, the Star of India transported cargo like jute and salmon across the seas.
