Maritime Museum: We stopped to see the ships of the Maritime Museum
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The ships, Star of India, and the Surprise (from "Master and Commander") are berthed right next to the cruise ship port.

    We met our friends, Shirley and Sonny, and went to see the ships.

    In the photo, the Surprise is on the lfet and the Star of India is on the right.

    Maritime Museum: Star of India
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • This is the world's oldest iron hull sailing ship built in 1863. Her decks and cabins are supposedly haunted by the ghosts of several unfortunate sailors.

    John Campbell fell 100 feet from the rigging in 1884. Visitors might feel his cold hand when standing near the mast from which he fell.

    There is an aroma of fresh bread near the galley and a cold spot near the chain locker where a crewman was crushed to death.

    Maritime Museum: HMS Surprise
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The Surprise (from "Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World") is a replica of an 18th century British warship.

    This replica was launched in 1970 as the HMS Rose and was used as a sail training vessel. There were extensive modifications for the film.

     That's a great tip--they sure have done wonderful things with this old quarter which used to be so run-down!!!
