On May 30, 1963, Star of India opens to the public from 10:00 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening. On this first day approximately 1200 people visit the vessel.
On November 4, 1963, Star of India separates from her moorings and other connections due to the strong current from the vessel M.V. Loins Gate as it leaves the harbor under its own power. The Star of India drifts with the current and comes to rest at a right angle to the Embarcadero. The USS Chanticleer comes alongside and returns the Star of India to the dock. The ship receives minor damage to the gangway, water and telephone lines and forward main deck.
