Additional Details:
One of the first iron ships, built in 1863, formerly the full rigged ship Euterpe (meaning goddess of wind musical instruments), has weathered many thrilling experiences in the slave trade, piracy, storm and catastrophe. This romantic old hull is now owned by the zoological society of San Diego, to be used as an aquarium.
