Event Review by Susan Hayes

Event Venues San Diego
Event Venues San Diego-
Love having our event on the Berkeley, such a pretty venue and the staff are just wonderful to work with. The set up for a silent auction is so well figured out, and Jim Davis is really knowledgeable about how to arrange things. The catering staff are really professional, and we got great value for our money with the food. Everyone is really dedicated to making the event a success.
Thank you Susan!Fair winds,

San Diego Wedding Venues
The Star of India is a San Diego icon–everyone recognizes it. A lot of us spent the night aboard it as kids during an educational overnight program, or attended a friend’s birthday party or a corporate event.
The Star of India is an exciting and unique event venue. Walking along the Embarcadero, you’ve seen her sails and you’ve heard our pirates running about but you may not know how beautiful she can be for weddings!
We do specialty weddings and receptions ranging from nautical, tropical, island beach, and romantic, to anything else you can think of! Want more details? Call us at 619-234-9153 ext 102.

Interested in Learning Celestial Navigation?
Have you ever wondered how explorers ever navigated the seas before GPS or smartphones? It was difficult enough reading maps or following landmarks while driving before phones began dictating step-by-step directions.
Now imagine being a part of an expedition in say 1542. How would you have known where to go? What signs or landmarks existed to guide you?
Intrigued? Then you will love our 12 week course on Celestial Navigation. Director Ray Ashley, will be guiding a course on the Berkeley Ferryboat Tuesday nights, from April 9th-June 25th. The course is $300 and includes all materials and even a sail aboard tall ship Californian to practice skills learned during the class.
Check out our website for more information.

Who Loves Instagram?
My current favorite social media platform has to be Instagram! What’s not to love? Everyone loves photos and I am a huge fan of Emojis. Put them together and you’ve got magic!
So naturally, I created an Instagram account for the museum! Check us out!

Phantom
‘Phantom,’ in theaters March 1, 2013, was filmed on our very own B-39 Russian submarine here at the Maritime Museum of San Diego! We are so excited! Check it out.
“Phantom is one of the most realistic post WWII submarine movies that has ever been made. It is also the first Hollywood movie shot almost entirely inside an actual, Soviet cold-war submarine, docked at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. In particular, the film truly captures the unique camaraderie and courage any submarine crew experiences, whether American or Soviet.”
-Captain Charles MacVean, US Navy (ret). Former Skipper, U.S.S. SEAWOLF (SSN-575)
