The Galeón Andalucía is a full-scale replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon, built by the Nao Victoria Foundation. It serves as a floating museum, allowing visitors to explore its decks and learn about Spanish maritime history, including the ships used in the transatlantic trade routes between Spain, America, and the Philippines.
It is visiting Bristol at the moment until the 27th July ( it has to wait for a suitably high tide to leave because of its draught)

Just beautiful John!!!!
I love any masted vessel!
Operation Sail came to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for the 200th birthday of America in 1976. There were about 15 masted vessels from all over the World.
It was a true sight to behold!
Spain sent its vessel the Juan Sebastián de Elcano...
THis event was spectacular!
Great images mate!
