Californian joined the historic fleet of ships at the Maritime Museum of San Diego in 2002. She is the Official Tall Ship of the State of California, and helps carry out the educational missions of the Maritime Museum by hosting hundreds of students year round in a variety of American Revolutionary history, sail training, and Youth-At-Risk programs. The general public has the chance to sail her weekends or to Catalina on adventure sail expeditions. She was designed as a replica of the 1847 Revenue Cutter C.W. Lawrence and constructed locally at Spanish Landing by many San Diego members and volunteers of the Nautical Heritage Society. Built long and lean, capable of great speeds off the wind, the Revenue Service’s cutters patrolled the Californian coast during the Gold Rush Era and were a precursor to today's Coast Guard.
