When I lived and worked in San Diego I have toured that magnificent ship several times...
This is one of the historical ships that have to cherished for centuries to come.

The Star of India is so awesome! I did the tour a few months ago- I wish I could sail on her!

I'm curious about how they maintain the hull. Anyone know what ceramic epoxy is?

Cut off from the land that bore us, betrayed by the land we find, where the brightest have gone before us and the dullest remain behind, .......but stand to your glasses, steady,.......tis all we have left to prize, raise a cup to the dead already, hurrah for the next that dies

From the sublime to the ridiculous also in San Diego


The BMW Oracle multihull for the America's Cup is doing its checkout runs in San Diego. I never did see it with sail up, but that mast is pretty damn impressive without the canvas!
