Channel Islands Maritime Museum Unveils Tall Ship Exhibit @ Zachari Dunes

The Channel Islands Maritime Museum is excited to announce a new partnership with the Zachari Dunes hotel, located just over a mile from the museum’s home in Channel Islands Harbor.

This collaboration brings a unique maritime experience to hotel guests with the installation of a spectacular tall ship model exhibit in the hotel’s lobby. The first ship to be displayed is the San Felipe, a famed Spanish galleon that sailed from 1690 to 1705, offering a glimpse into that captivating period of maritime history.

The exhibit will be further brought to life with special activities in the Zachari Dunes hotel lobby and will feature performers, Connie Korenstein and the museum’s Executive Director, Doug Riffenburgh, in costumes reflective of the era when the San Felipe sailed the seas. Guests will be transported back in time as the performers share stories and interact with the exhibit.
