“Unconditional Surrender,” a tribute to the photo V-J Day in Times Square, has been in San Diego’s Embarcadero Marina Park since January 2006. The 25' statue, located next to the popular tourist destination, U.S.S. Midway, will be disassembled either Feb. 28 or 29 by The Sculpture Group, which owns the traveling piece of art.

Star of India is the world's oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863. Iron ships were experiments of sorts then, with most vessels still being built of wood. Within five months of laying her keel, the ship was launched into her element. She bore the name Euterpe, after the Greek muse of music and poetry.
