If visitors inquire about San Salvador visits, you can let them know that she is open and on display dockside for self-guided tours as part of the outdoor visitor general admission experience.

The Maritime Museum continues to temporarily pause the San Salvador day sailing for now. They should have that experience become available in late June or July.

Here is the press release from the Maritime Museum.

SAN DIEGO, CA — (March 31, 2021) – Maritime Museum of San Diego, serving as the community memory of our seafaring experience by collecting, preserving, and presenting our rich maritime heritage and historic connections with the Pacific world, announced today it is resuming daily operations 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. starting Thursday, April 1, 2021.

According to Raymond Ashley, Ph.D., K.C.I., President/CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, “We initially re-opened weekend only operations effective February 13, 2021 after the pandemic forced a fourth temporary closure. After moving into the red-tier and monitoring COVID guidelines for the last six weeks, we felt we could expand to daily Monday through Sunday self-guided tour and Bay tour operations, providing visitors and locals with more times and opportunities for a healthy break, and safe tour experience ashore and on the Bay.”

The Maritime Museum of San Diego’s outdoor experience includes a walking, one-way top deck ship tour clearly marked to comply with social distancing guidelines. Tours take guests back in time as they stroll the upper decks of the historic fleet, including the world’s oldest sailing ship, Star of India, Navy frigate replica H.M.S. Surprise, featured in the award-winning film, Master and Commander, and California’s official state tall ship, the Californian. Indoor exhibits and below deck galleries will still remain closed temporarily.
