The museum, which typically sees 150,000 visitors a year, hopes to double that figure with the redevelopment.
A hundred years of San Diego's seafaring history may be getting a makeover. Officials with the Maritime Museum of San Diego, home to the iconic Star of India, are making headway on a plan to redevelop its site, which has been located along the Embarcadero for nearly a century.
The iron-hulled barque built on the Isle of Man first put to sea in 1863. According to the operators of the museum, the Star of India is the oldest active sailing ship in the world, beginning its life dockside in San Diego nearly a century ago and undergoing a restoration that was finished in 1963.
Other elements of the redevelopment plan, which the Port of San Diego voted to advance this week , include nautical exhibits and a sit-down restaurant for ticketholders operated by the Cohn Restaurant Group.
