Join us for an epic journey
onboard the San Salvador with Dr. Raymond Ashley, President, Maritime Museum of
San Diego.     





As Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo’s flagship,
the San Salvador was a 100 foot full-rigged galleon used for exploration. It
was thefirst to anchor at the Santa Catalina Island in 1542. 



Since 2011, the Maritime Museum
of San Diego has been building a full-sized, fully functional, historically
accurate replica of the ship. 





Raymond takes us on the journey
of constructing the vessel, giving us the opportunity to watch from a close perspective
as the first modern industrial activity in America comes to life.
