The Star of India is an old sailing ship in San Diego harbor originally commisioned by the British. The same ship was used to film "Master and Comander". It's also a common name for many restaraunts. A bit more: Star of India was built in 1863 as Euterpe, a full-rigged iron windjammer ship in Ramsey, Isle of Man. After a full career sailing from Great Britain to India then to New Zealand, she became a salmon hauler on the Alaska then to California route. After retirement in 1926, she was restored between 1962 and 1963 and is now a seaworthy museum ship ported at the San Diego Maritime Museum in San Diego. She is the oldest ship that still sails regularly and the oldest iron hulled merchant ship still floating. The ship is both a California and National Historic Landmark.
Both Europe and Asia was one big continent named Eurasia, but later it was intended that there'd be 7 continents, and that Europe would end at the Ural Mountains in Russia. So the Ural Mountains was where Asia begins, becoming the world's largest continent while Europe becomes the 2nd smallest continent. Kazakhstan has a river which naturally borders between it's small European part and it's large Asian part including it's capitol, Astana.
