History buffs can journey back in time when the tall ship San Salvador returns to Morro Bay this week.
The San Salvador sailed into Morro Bay Harbor on Tuesday.
The ship will remain docked at South T Pier off Embarcadero for nearly two weeks as part of the Pacific Heritage Tour presented by the Maritime Museum of San Diego and hosted by the Morro Bay Maritime Museum, according to an event website
The multi-masted galleon is a full-scale replica of the vessel used by explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who became the first European to explore present-day California in the 16th century.
Visitors are invited to “discover the captivating stories of exploration and early encounters with the native Salinan Tribal Members who fished Morro Bay’s Pacific Coast in 1542,” the event site said.
Dockside tours of the San Salvador are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Aug. 20.
Admission is $12, or $10 for seniors and active military service members and $8 for children ages 4 to 17. Kids 3 and under are free.
