El Galeon visits Ramsgate, where she will be open for public visitation from May 4th through 14th at the Commercial Quay of Ramsgate Harbour.
This galleon is a faithful historical replica of the Spanish galleons that sailed the Atlantic, navigated the Caribbean, the American coasts and covered the immense Pacific route from the 16th to the 18th century. An imposing ship of 55 meters in length, six decks, made of iroko and pine wood, and almost a thousand square meters of sail area in its seven sails, built with careful historical rigor.
During her stay in Ramsgate, the public will be able to get on board, tour her five decks and learn about her details, how she sails, what life was like on board and the history of these ships. Part of the experience is boarding a ship that today sails the seas of the world with a young crew, who have amazing experiences on their long voyages. A true floating museum of our maritime culture that has already sailed more than 55,000 nautical miles across oceans and seas around the world, visiting ports on four continents, such as Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York or Quebec, spreading its history.
Her stopover in Ramsgate is part of her great 2023 tour, during which he is visiting various ports in Europe, to spread the knowledge about how these legendary Spanish ships that for three centuries connected the great continents of the planet.
