Description
The El Galeon, an authentic replica of a 17th century Spanish Galleon, was docked at the Riverwalk Landing Piers in Historic Yorktown, Virginia for a week. The ship is the first Class A ship, a square-rigged vessel more than 40 meters long. The original El Galeon was used by the Spanish Crown between the 16th and 18th centuries for discovering and establishing trading routes.
This replica was built between 2009 and 2010 and has covered more than 35,000 nautical miles. It is 164 feet long with three masts holding seven sails.
