It plied between England and New Zealand as a passenger and cargo ship, and often had on board as many as 400 British passengers who were emigrating to New Zealand. From 1901 to 1923 it was in service for America on the Alaska route before coming to San Diego. The ship, which is still seaworthy, last went to sea on the occasion of the celebrations to mark the bi-centenary of American Independence on July 4th 1976.
The others are the ferry-ship "Berkeley", built in 1898 and which plied between San Francisco and Oakland, and the luxurious 1904 motor-yacht "Medea", which still occasionally makes trips round the bay.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the ships inside and out. In addition to the ships and submarines, the museum features temporary exhibits on various topics. The museum also has an extensive naval library and archives available to the general public.
