17th-century-andalusian-galleon-sails-into-wales-for-two-day-stop
From https://nation.cymru/ :-
A 17th-century Spanish galleon will be docking in Pembrokeshire for two days this September, offering visitors a chance to step into maritime history.
El Galeón Andalucía will be docked at Fishguard Harbour on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September. Having made her way into almost 100 ports across the world, Fishguard is the third in Wales to host her.
Though only a replica, the Nao Victoria Foundation who built the galleon between 2009 and 2010 undertook significant historical research to ensure she is “as close to the original as possible”.
I think we should take a looksie.
*Update* No it doesnt. Weather like that the Armarda experienced in 1588 is expected again, and the Captain doesn't want to fall prey to the same
mistakes again :-)
