Californian was built in 1984 as a replica of the
revenue service cutter C.W. Lawrence which operated off the
Californian coast in the 1850s. She is known as the "Official
Tall ship Ambassador for the
State of California",
A precursor to today's
Coast Guard, the
Revenue Cutter Service was responsible for securing the tax
revenue and to relieve distressed
merchant vessels, much as the
United States Coast Guard operates today.
Originally commissioned by the Nautical Heritage Society, she's flown the Californian
flag up and down the Californian coast and in ports ranging from
Hawaii,
Mexico, and the
East Coast.
Recently acquired by the
Maritime Museum of San Diego, she underwent a complete overhaul and has now returned to providing
sail training and sea educational programs up and down the Californian coast.
