In 1954 the San Francisco Maritime Museum purchased Pacific Queen (The Balclutha was renamed this when Frank Kissinger purchased it in 1933) for $25,000. Assisted by donations of cash, materials and labor from the local community, the Museum restored the vessel and returned her original name. The ship was transferred to the National Park Service in 1978, and Balclutha was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.
