Description:
- Located across from Ghirardelli Square and housed in a 1930s building that resembles a ship, this museum chronicles maritime history with photographs, miniature models of Navy ships and passenger lines, and fascinating interactive exhibits. The Steamship Room details the evolution of wind-to-steam power. On display is the Mermaid, a one-man sailboat that carried a solo adventurer across the Pacific from Japan in 94 days.
