ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)The Maritime Museum of San Diego's mission is to serve as the
community memory of our seafaring experience by collecting,
preserving, and presenting our rich maritime heritage via a
world-class collection of 10 historic vessels, exhibitions,
public events, and educational programs.
2)In pursuit of this mission, the Maritime Museum of San Diego
sought to build a full-sized, fully functional, and
historically accurate replica of the San Salvador to create a
living link between California's past and present, that would
serve as a community memory of the region's seafaring
experience and present its rich and diverse maritime heritage
and historic connections to the Pacific world.
3)The Spanish galleon San Salvador was explorer Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo's flagship vessel, and during his 1542 expeditionary
voyage, the San Salvador, in the company of two other ships,
landed at what is now the City of San Diego and established
first contact with the indigenous peoples of the California
coast, and Cabrillo and his crew became the first Europeans to
set foot on the Pacific coast of the United States.
4)The San Salvador replica will function as the origin symbol
ship for California and commemorate the voyage of the original
San Salvador which, through its voyage into the unknown parts
of the ocean, provided vital geographic, climatic, and
oceanographic information on the Pacific Ocean.
5)The mission of the San Salvador replica is to embody our
community origin story by presenting the life and times of
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the historic voyage of the San
Salvador, our place in the beginnings of the modern world, and
first contact between Europeans and Native American peoples of
the west coast of North America.
