170 Years of Harbor History

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is pleased to announce the opening of its latest exhibition 170 Years of Harbor History, a selection of photographs of Santa Barbara’s harbor and waterfront from 1853 to the present. The exhibition of archival images depicts some of the most important moments in the creation of the city’s vibrant waterfront—from the establishment of Stearns Wharf in 1872 to the building of the breakwater and subsequent formation of Leadbetter Beach and today’s harbor business district.
The exhibition is generously sponsored by George H. and Olive J. Griffiths Charitable Foundation; Mimi Michaelis; The June G. Outhwaite Charitable Trust; and Wood-Claeyssens Foundations.
