A stunning spectacle of two Spanish tall ships visiting Plymouth next month promises to be one of the city’s seafaring highlights of the year.
EI Galeón Andalucía and Pascual Flores will visit the city’s historic waterfront for over 4 days and docking at the Barbican landing stage.
Westward Shipping News captured the grand entrance of the EI Galeón Andalucía last September on our live 24 hour webcam, when the unique five-deck floating museum made its way across the Sound.
Constructed by the Neo Victoria Foundation in Spain, EI Galeón Andalucía was launched in 2009 and covered over 70,000 nautical miles.
The Pascual Flores, is a three-masted schooner, and built in Torrevieja in 1907, and restored to its former glory after a chequered history, and now tours across Spain and Europe.
Tales of Olde will be told by the crews on both ships, and the legendary adventures of Spanish galleons sailing the high seas from the 16th to 18th centuries.
Crew members will showcase the history of the ships, and dressed in period costumes.
The visit of the ships will offer local people and visitors alike the chance to climb aboard the vessels from the (15 to 19 May) from 10am to 8pm.
