China Cabin

China Cabin was an elegant Victorian social hall from the paddle steamer China, salvaged in 1886 when the wood ship became obsolete and was burned for scrap metal in Tiburon Cove. To provide a historic glimpse of old-world luxury, its period interior was painstakingly restored with 22k gold leaf, walnut woodwork, cut-glass floral window panes, and brass chandeliers with crystal prisms. The cabin is a National Maritime Monument.
