When launched from the Irish Sea on November 14th 1863, at Ramsey on the Isle of Man, she was christened Euterpe after the Greek muse of music and lyric poetry. She has made 21 circumnavigations during her career, some of them lasting up to a year. On her first trip she suffered a collision and a mutiny. On her second trip, a cyclone caught the Euterpe in the Bay of Bengal, and her topmasts cut away, she barely made port. Shortly afterwards, her first captain died on board and was buried at sea. The Euterpe made four voyages to India as a cargo ship. The full-rigged ship took on a green colour when purchased in 1871 by the Shaw Savill line of London. She spent a quarter century hauling emigrants to New Zealand, sometimes calling into ports in Australia, California and Chile.

In 1898 she was sold to American owners and in 1902 purchased by the Alaska Packers Association. Renamed the Star of India in 1906, after joining the fleet of the Alaskan Packers Association. She was sailed from Oalkand to the Bering Sea each spring with a load of fisherman, cannery hands, box shook, and tin plate. She returned each fall laden with canned salmon. This went on until 1923 when she was laid up in port by APA. in 1926 she was saved by a group of San Diegans and towed to San Diego from San Francisco to restore and preserve as a museum ship. She is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers and staff and sails at least once a year.
