When rhe small San Salvador enrered rhe harbor now called San Diego, rhe galleon was perhaps rhe mosr powerful vessel in rhe Pacific O cean. This replica ship will symbolize California's mulri-culrural origins, highlighr the firsr encounters berween Europeans and Narive American populations, document the dawn of the scientific revolurion, translate its significance and crucial lessons concrerely for all visitors-particularly for K-12 srudem s, demonsrrate adva nces in maritime histo ry, and celebrate Cabrillo's co ntrib utions as the leader of rhe earliest European exploration of California. The museum will build the ship in full view of the public and, after launching, rhe San Salvador will remain on exhibir as part of the museum's fleet of historic and replica ships and will travel along the California coasr as an ambassador for San Diego. A $6 million campaign goal is underway for rhe purpose of building rhe ship ($ 5 mi llion) and to build an endowmem ($ 1 million) rhar will provide funding ro care for the museum's fleet for future generarions.
