The Star of India is the world's oldest active ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863.
She is now part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego and is well preserved. She still sails several times a year and has become a symbol of San Diego.
As a long time museum member and occasional volunteer of the Maritime Museum I'm aboard fairly frequently. My favorite ship.
Beautiful light and excellent detailing in the rigging, Walter.... she looks good under that San Diego sky, I can see why she's your favourite! Great shot!
