      ​@@patrikcalloch7953 Yes, it is a replica of a galleon. Measurements, weights, size of masts, common spaces and everything related to what a galleon was like for centuries were studied. They built it mostly out of oak wood, but they also used modern materials of our time to make it safer. For example, it can sail, but it also has a motor. The boat was launched in Huelva and navigation tests were carried out on the high seas for a few months. All the best.

      Yes - I agree. I believe that these large ships would have originally anchored in a harbour or close to land and then the crew would have transferred to smaller boats to take them to / from the land so that all this precise manoeuvring in tight spaces would not have been required.

      @ThamesShips  14 днів тому +1

      Thanks for watching the video. Sailing is a generic term and many cruise and ferry companies use the term even though their vessels do not have sails. You can see this on many of their web sites.
      It sails around Europe and seems to have been very popular as they extended their stay in London due to the high demand from people to visit. I am not familiar with the ship from the movie so can't compare it - sorry!

      @ThamesShips no, Thank you for posting. I am now deep diving into galleons.
      My father was in the Navy. Asa child born 1 month after the depression started, he had never had a full belly until he joined the Navy. It's why he joined.
      I was 5 the first time he took me to the battleship Texas in San Jacinto TX. He took me several times.
      It was always such a treat for him to explain things to me. I watched a video on a walk through of the HMS Victory. What an incredibly beautiful vessel. I know that he sailed on what was modern for his time, but I could almost hear him explaining the different parts of the vessel, their function and sprinkling in anecdotes from his tour. Thank you for the memories

      Thanks for watching the video. It is able to operate using either sails or engines. The sails are often used when it is at sea.
      It does also have two Guascor Power F180T2-SP engines, each with a power output of 279 kW at 1,800 rpm which can be used when required.
