The Maritime Museum of San Diego invites you to join us for Tall Ship adventure sailing! This is a four-hour adventure history sail aboard the schooner Californian.
The Californian is a replica of a gold rush era revenue cutter and the Official Tall Ship of the State of California.

Arrive early to take in your general admission visit to the entire fleet and exhibits, then set sail! 

Join the crew in sailing a traditionally rigged tall ship! Passengers will be invited to haul a line, man the helm and watch the crew as they scamper up and down the rigging to set and furl the sails. Listen as the Californian’s crew relates the history of sailing and exploration in San Diego, tales of whaling and sea otter trade, local sea battles, the art of ship’s gunnery, life at sea and more.

The Adult-Only Specters & Sinners Nightly Walking Ghost Tour will showcase San Diego's former red light district, the Stingaree, and the history that lies within. This tour will also dive deep into some of San Diego's downtown hauntings, while also exploring some of the city's most famous serial killers. Enjoy seeing the Tivoli Bar & Grill, the Lazy Hippo (Quong Building), the Horton Grand Hotel, and the Montijo Building just to name a few.

Ghost City Tours are guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck as you stroll through the dark & haunted sides of San Diego's rich history.
