Little Italy makes a perfect home base for gastronomic delights and waterfront adventures. Here’s where to go and what to see.
We’re headed for the waterfront, a 15-minute stroll away, eager for a blast to Little Italy’s maritime past — and California’s too. A century ago, more than 6,000 Italian families lived and worked here in this Italian quarter, many of them in the fisheries that made San Diego the tuna capital of the world.from the end of Laurel Street to Barrio Logan. By the 1930s, San Diego historians say, commercial tuna fishing had joined the Navy and aerospace as the region’s three largest industries.
The ships are part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, whose treasures include the 19th century Star of India; the Californian, the state’s official Tall Ship; and a meticulously reconstructed, working replica of the San Salvador, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s 16th century galleon. When the Spanish conquistador dropped anchor in San Diego Bay in 1542, he became the first European to explore what is now California.
So as we wait for more would-be sailors to join us, we browse the exhibits, exploring maritime history from the era of Cabrillo through the age of the great sailing ships and steam-powered vessels, the rise of the U.S. Navy presence in California and the commercial fishing era, when tuna was king.
