As the flagship of Cabrillo’s expedition, San Salvador made history when she reached what is now San Diego on September 28, 1542. She then continued north, charting the California coast in pursuit of new trade routes linking Mexico, Asia, and Europe. Now, guests can step aboard and be part of her living legacy.
