Star Education Adventures In the days when men, women and
children traveled the world on sailing ships, a Sea Chest was
often the only connection to home during the weeks and even
months it could take to complete a voyage. The Sea Chest held
their clothing, personal items, valuables, and those special
treasures that would remind them of friends and family they
might never see again. Open our Sea Chest and we'll learn about
this life at sea - a life experienced not just by professional
sailors but also by thousands and thousands of ordinary people
who traveled the sea enroute to new beginnings in new lands.
Thank you for taking an interest in the San Diego Maritime
Museum. We hope that you will find this information a valuable
supplement for a visit to our ships, or as a glimpse of the life
of seagoing pioneers. The Museum is always growing and
improving, and we welcome any feedback from educators or their
students. Selecting a topic from the parchment page will take
you to that chapter of our story. Each chap
