The world's oldest active ship should arrive via tugboat between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., said Robyn Gallant, a spokesSpambot for its owner, the San Diego Maritime Museum.

Looks like a very nice ship..

Now that's a beautiful barque right from the so-called "rapid but short golden age of clippers"!

 i think this is the oldest in ordinary traffic P.S. "Skibladner" (pron. shee-blah-d-ner) is the pride of Norway's inland, and one of Norway's best-loved tourist attractions. This preserved and restored paddle steamer is over 150 years old but continues to run a timetabled service in the summer months

Would it be too sarcastic to suggest the Pride of Calais?

[Wave Music]

She's way too famous to be mentioned here.

I would suggest that, as still a commissioned warshp, HMS Victory (keel 1759 ) is the oldest (active???) in the world...

Active-ish!

Skibladner is the world's oldest operational paddle steamer in scheduled traffic, not the oldest ship on water

Waverely the last seagoing Paddle Steamer in the World:



Saw her while I was in Scotland too, Lucky me!
