Sea Chantey Festival
1492 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $8 - $16
For centuries sailors honed their shipboard skills to the cadence of songs recounting the adventure, tragedy, and romance of life at sea. These “sea chanteys” and the sailors’ life they describe come to life aboard the Star of India as performed by local and national artists. The Star of India sail crew will demonstrate shipboard skills traditionally accompanied by sea chanteys, and visitors will have a chance to join in and raise the sails of the historic ship. Free with paid admission to the museum: $8 children, $16 adults.
