Maritime Museum Description
Three historic vessels make up this floating museum: the 1898 ferrboat Berkeley, the 1904 English luxury steam yacht Medea, and the steel-hulled, handmade 1863 sailing ship Star of India -- the oldest merchant vessel still afloat. Kids have a blast exploring them, and parents have fun, too. The Star of India hosts outdoor movie nights in summer, and family sleepovers, where parents and kids get to crew the ship.

Kid Tips
Babies: The vessels pre-date strollers, so it's best to leave those on land.
