- A full-size replica of a 17th-century Spanish Galleon, similar to those of the Spanish Armada that was famously defeated by Sir Francis Drake in 1588.
El Galeon was launched in 2009 at Huelva in Spain.
The only one in the world that sails in present days.
These ships were the type of vessel used by the Spanish Crown for maritime expeditions during the 16th through the 18th centuries.
Gracias a estos barcos los españoles forjamos el primer imperio global y logramos navegar y mandar en todos los mares y oceanos conocidos,Viva España y viva Andalucía 🇪🇦💚🤍💚
Its amazing to me that they could engineer this magnificent ship 500 years ago. All designed by hand drawings and built to such a high standard using hand tools.
And very long term planning ,they selected trees with potencial to grow knowing they needed a stock of varios bends etc. (Verry possibly using hedging technique's to establish growth patterns' early in the tree's development)
Even making rope for such a ship takes ages ,it's not gust the length but the number of strands in thick rope.
I have helped steaming and fitting hull planks. I cant Imajin the expertise needed to steam huge planks using wood ovens then fitting them in the seconds before they start setting.
My dear evidently you are not a naval architect.i can assure you the best designs were made even before with battleships designed and build by Athenians many centuries B.C
they were better engineers and craftsmen those days..more of them too; these days were all dumbed down with digital/electronic technology...almost ZERO hands on craftsmen's / people, being produced. we are doomed ...you can thank the likes of bill gates etc etc etc etc for that.
@@dimitrisrallis9887 Wow. Cringe and also incorrect. Bravo sir.
Sustainable shipbuilding. Eco friendly.
What a masterwork of a ship! 🙌🏽
When you look at all the details, even just the masts and sails. The experience that let to such amazing works of art and function, is just astounding. It is so beautiful.
What a wonderful replica! This is like a time capsule. It looks like no expense was spared.
Built by John Hammond.
@@FryingTiger John Hammond must be a genius.
@@FryingTiger Sorry, this galeon was designed and built by Ignacio Fernandez Vial in Andalucia Spain in 2010

@@FryingTiger you beat me too it lol
And built without power tools, back in the day. Amazing craftsmanship.
Thank you for taking us on a virtual tour! What a beautiful ship The Andalucia is!
My first experience on a large sailing ship left me in awe of the power generated by the rapid hoisting and the wind quickly filling the sails. One moment we were not moving and in the next the sudden lurch of starting the ship moving almost caused me to lose my footing. I felt honored to be aboard.
I've never been on any ship out in the water. Would love to experience sailing though. What a rush
It had a big block chevy in it
And it’s natural power. That’s the cool thing about it.
@@goplaces1015 The ride under sail feels completely different from under power. Sails navigate waves engines try and ignore them and head strait ahead . There are times when the waves and wind are with you you feel like 'Shes' flying.
@@johnh539 sounds amazing
She’s magnificent!!❤
I saw this on 17th July (2024) in Scarborough. It is a very beautiful and impressive ship. Fully seaworthy. It was exactly as I imagined them to be. It is very big, it doesn't really look as big on this film as it did when I saw it. I noticed there was no figurehead and I am wondering if Spanish galleons didn't have them. I can imagine seafaring ancestors climbing up those masts to sort out the rigging.
@@weejackrussell I dont know anything about boats/ships and this was my 1st time seeing one like it. I enjoyed it, dont see something like this every day. Its been doing its rounds again in UK and will be back in Ramsgate soon. Might go and see again. Try getting a better video. Will see.
Fantastic ship! Love how it has been presented for the public to appreciate. I’ve been aboard much bigger ships (courtesy of Her Majesty’s renowned Grey Funnel Line) & am always amazed that people actually went to sea in such ships. Not only that, but fought battles in them! I’ve been on an aircraft carrier in a storm (cyclone) where waves were coming up onto the flight deck - they would have buried a little cockle-shell like this. They were certainly brave & tough men back then.
It was my 1st time on a ship like this. I know nothing about them, Im just a "tourist" and try see new things when can. Ive never been out to sea, bet it can get scary with the huge waves. Definitely brave men.
What an incredible replica! She's magnificently beautiful yet haunting at the same time.
That place is incredible!
Good idea to shoot from the water side view. It gives a much better visual of what the whole ship looks like. Good job!!!👍👍
Thank you. My video skills are basic, so good to know what works 😁
Was thinking the same. Looks very seaworthy.
I enjoyed your video, I just hoped you’d stayed on every single panel to be able to read the explanations.
Miles and miles of ropes. Maintaining and constantly replacing these ropes must have been an enormous job.
Hemp rope: stand up really well to salt water, which is why is was so common, and popular.
As the other poster stated, Ropes made from natural fibres such as hemp are actually quite sturdy, and will hold up for years, often decades before needing to be replaced. Ropes were more often needing replaced from battle damage than natural wear over time. Many of these old seabirds would have spare Ropes lashed and coiled everywhere. All them pegs and rails would be festooned with many miles of spare Ropes.
Surreal, que galeão magnífico. Muito obrigado por compartilhar. Saudações do Brasil.
At certain angles she almost looks ironclad. What a beauty.
Amazing design of the times! Wonder it was capable of cross ocean sailing in one piece! 😮
Considering the fact that they went to the America's and Asia, I think they had that capability...................
Not only cross the Ocean Sea but circumnavigate the world. Between the Spanish and Portuguese the world was divided in half. Something that England and France were jealous of and eventually broke that hegemony.
Still capable of crossing the ocean. According to one of the plaques, this ship visited Pensacola, Florida (U.S.) in 2016.

When you actually see how small those ships were , then think about the long , long didtances they traveled rgularly . It gives you a strong respect for those that sailed them , and other ships like it .
Glorious little Nao that carried the bravest men on earth, with that absolutely beautiful first on all oceans on this planet flag. PLUS ULTRA.
You wouldn't want anything less than a full crew operating this thing. Imagine how many people it took to manage it.
Thank you for sharing from Florida. Beautiful. Arrrrrrr
Superb galleon and so solid and well built.
Un galion Espagnol magnifique 🎉
Thank you very much for sharing, appreciate it a lot 👍

I can imagine how hi tech this would have looked to the common people of the day who visited the dock and saw them. They are the equivlent of our space craft.
Never mind the people who were accustomed to seeing it every other day, but the natives who had never seen a vessel much larger than their canoes and much less white men. No doubt initially they thought them to be Gods!
There is no space craft.

The spanish armada was not defeated by Francis Drake, the fleet lose 28 ships by a sea storm
Тем хуже,
Испанские моряки не справились с морем, а британские справились.
Не важно по какой причине.
Факт налицо: Великая Армада перестала существовать.

Yeap. And was not only spanish. They took our largest ships and sunk them along with theirs. fools.
That was in 1588. Get over it. You can't change history.
@@AlanHigh-x4i and then lost a few more doing the around the UK and into ever worse weather!!!
Very nice. One must appreciate the technology of the Era.
Not as dumb and backwards as most people imagine medieval people to have been.
España, un país con una gran tradición marinera y mucha historia, con muchas hazañas, olvidadas injustamente por la historia. Barcos como esté llegaron a crear un gran imperio y establecer un gran comercio con América. He podido visitar este magnífico barco en varias ocasiones.
No tan olvidadas, pero si pocas veces recordadas o mencionadas. Parte en culpa es los pocos intereses de estos temas por las nuevas generaciones. Y también por ciertos grupos ideológicos que quieren presentar esta parte de la historia de forma negativa.
Yo personalmente no me quejo de esa herencia de una particular zona geográfica de Europa. Y digo gracias a esos abuelos españoles, que sino hubiese sido por ellos, estaría viviendo en alguna jungla hoy en día. 😅
Lo del comercio con américa es más bien un eufemismo del saqueo en américa
Amazing, great to see👌
she looks fantastic, i love it
Very interesting thank you for showing us this fantastic video well done 👍
I wondered why I had not seen her in Huelva the last few months, she is doing a UK tour, including my old city of Cardiff. Nice little video documentary Julia, if you ever visit Huelva you could visit her sister replica ships Nao Victoria, Nao Santa Maria and El Galeon.
Yes, I saw she was in UK and i am hoping to go see. Would be interesting to see the other boats. This was my 1st time seeing or being on a boat like this. Found out about it by chance on the Internet when saw it was in Ramsgate. I must have been living under a rock lol
Dos grandes Naciones....dos grandes historias ❤❤
The Spaniards, especially on ships that visited the Caribbean a lot, tried to put a lead sheet lining on them against the shipworm or Teredo. Also, at least for the caravels, they used to give them to the hull a layer of a mixture of horse fat or cow fat or whale fat mixed with quicklime and sulfur, which gave a white color to the part of the hull that was in contact with the water
Beautiful Sailingship ...
Very cool, thanks.👍
Buen vídeo, muy bien llevado, y precioso barco.
Gracias por compartirlo. 👍
Thanks for sharing
Belissima galé ...emoções....voltei ao sec. 16.... Parabéns....
Splendid video, thank you. Wish I'd known she'd berthed in Ramsgate - I live only 15 miles away!
Surprised to see how spacious it was below decks and loved the way they hid the modern life raft canisters under canvas covers!
About 40 years ago we were in a small Spanish fishing village on the Mediterranean and saw a traditional wooden fishing boat being built. Mush smaller than this of course but all done with hand tools and not an electric drill in sight!
There's a good replica of Drake's Golden Hinde that can be visited in London at the Mary Overie Dock.
Being a bit picky I did find the video a bit jerky - perhaps invest in a small gimble mechanism for smoother shots and also, when you pan upwards - like your shots from deck to mast head - cut at the top of the shot. We'll have seen the detail going up so won't need to see it again coming down 😄
Having said that it's not always easy to get a smooth flow when you're filming "on the hoof" so well done for capturing so much detail.
Bon voyage . . . or should that be ¡Buen viaje!
Yes, I found out about it by chance on Facebook the day before myself. And hopefully will get a chance to visit the one in london too.
Must have been a cool experience seeing a boat being built by hand. Im no expert on boats at all. I just enjoy seeing new things.
Totally agree about my filming. I dont do a lot of it, so it is working progress. Also, when I try to avoid people, I tend to go over their heads, so that dont help and very good point about filming only up and not down. Noted ✅️ 😁
Fascinating stuff.. More significant than the defeat of the Armada in 1588 was the Battle of the Azores in 1591 where the lone Revenge commanded by Sir Richard Grenville was defeated after a 15 hour battle against at least 15 enemy vessels such as depicted here. Revenge was a design departure for the English being sleeker and faster. It was the first battle where the use of cannon fire made a significant difference. The Armada was defeated by the weather and bad seamanship rather than cannon fire.
Thank you for an interesting fact 👍
The Spanish Armada lost because it was an overly ambitious and complicated operation for the time, lacking suitable friendly ports to embark the Army of Flanders, and the impossibility of synchronizing the action with Alexander Farnese, the commander of the Spanish forces in that area.
There is a disproportionate amount of mythology surrounding this event. From the supposed skill of the English gunners to Drake's game of Skittles. Most of that mythology, by the way, the product of patriotic British historians of the Victorian era whose lack of historical rigor based on any original source, is still kept alive in certain circles. Although less and less.
I got this... _raise the anchor, then drop the sails and angle them into the wind, load up the cannons and assume your stations_ ...and off we go, harr harr harr 🏴☠😅
Mind boggling the amount of scarce materials and skilled labor in the thing.
Beautiful ship
I'm from Ramsgate and used to work there too, you can even see my old office too ^^
Random fact.
Royal Ramsgate Harorbour is the only Royal harbour in the country.
This was my 1st time in Ramsgate and I went specifically for the boat. Was a bit of a rushed day and didnt get to explore as much. Will go back for a proper wonder round
@goplaces1015 next time you're down, check out Ship Shape (it's a cafe on the other side of the harbour in the arches and its really good) also there's the old WW2 air raid tunnels about a 5 or 6 minute walk from the harbour, head left with the cliffs on your left hand side.
If they're open and doing tours you should check it out, it's really interesting.
Also, there's tunnels all underground where the ships used to float barrels on beer to the pubs along the front.
Glad you had a good time :)
Good video ! Gracias
Beautiful ❤❤❤
It’s a work of Art. Thanks it’s awesome !the British bigotry against the Spanish still rides high after five hundred years in the USA!
This was something new for me to go and see. Found out about it the day before. I know nothing about ships and definitely won't get involved in the "politics" 😄
Huge ships. That sailed across the oceans .
I think this must be where the term "learning the ropes" comes from.
Or being left out on the ropes?
That would make sense. There are A LOT of ropes. Apart from going over people's heads in the video, which resulted in not so good quality, I was still obsessed with all the masts and ropes.
And the Term Loose Cannon'''
No kidding, huh?😮
@@goplaces1015 Most of what you see are lines not ropes. A rope is not attached to anything. Usually a line has one end attached to something and has a specific purpose.
The shape is a remarkable design, more like a SHOE, or TRAINER!
As long as it floats 😆
Lo mas importante es disfrutad de esta maravilla tanto ingleses y españoles
Very nice!
Excellent!
une arnaque ! ce n 'est pas une réplique . i should be very surprised to see her at deep waters .
Looks awesome
It was an interesting visit. Not something you get to see every day.
@@goplaces1015anybody that gets the chance to see this in person will pass up the chance of a lifetime. I realize a tour is nothing like what those men went through but it gives a small glimpse of what could have happened to them.
Great to see sail ship again... Yeah look alike the black pearl of captain jack sparrow realy exist
Excellent video. Would have been neat to see this galleon next to the Golden Hind replica to compare sizes.
Muhtesem tasarım ve guzel işçilik . 👏

meanwhile British who had one of the strongest navies in the world only have ships in museums.. :( imagine seeing HMS Warrior or HMS Victory sailing in the Solent
This sailship it's so beautifully good sailship ohhhh yeahhhh
Two thousand trees had to be felled, years of work, and a ship like that could sink into the sea in just a few minutes.
La historia antes se escribía sobre este tipo de barcos, España formó el primer imperio global de la historia donde nunca se ponía el sol. Viva España 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦.
all I can visualize is cannon balls rolling all over the floor!!
Amazing!}}}}
Tnx
Большое спасибо за подробный обзор.
bellissima..
I would feel very safe sailing these back then.
It's a fantastic vessel.
@@luidyjosedasilva2961 was 1st time for me. I dont know anything about boats so this was an interesting visit.
It's always nice seeing a sailing ship on the water, but if you're a model ship builder looking for reference material, steer clear of this one. A lot of this rigging was designed for modern integrity & safety, and while made to look "appropriate", much of it is far from period accurate.
Un splendide bateaux de collection.
nice ship 👍👍
Thanks for video!
Those huge multiline blocks where to pull the boom up or down. I could not find the winch for that. Hope to see one day at YT video made by a sailor with knowledge on those craft. They where extremely complicated and need hundred of head count to make the ship sail
I would love to see her handling Rough seas!
That would be a blast to take out to sea!
Linda embarcação👏
Ooo made in Spain very good
Es bellísimo ese barco no se como le llamen ahí pero esta bien echó
SUPER..
Nice looking ship ^^
hi. great ship and looks very well made, also helps me when modeling these ships
Do the mast look like metal to you ? Look at the tops .
The video description is a bit misleading, ships like these were out of commission by the late 17th century, the design and structure completely changed, ships were build longer and bulkier which allowed for more cannon, these changes brought the end of the forecastle as seen with 'Andalucia'. By the end of the 17th century the Galleons started to look more like that of 'HMS Victory' that you could still find moored in England today.
@@historystuff.2835 i only copied what they had on their site. This is how they describe their ship.
Love at first sight!
The great vintage ship old is gold tred marc vasko d
Amazing replica, royal navy Mary rose, was pretty big, at 800t, had steep bow, stern castles.
The Mary Rose was a Carrack, a purpose built warship and precursor of the Galleon. Whereas the Galleon was smaller and simpler in construction, the Carrack was heavier and more sturdier at sea.
Steering wheels for ships were introduced only very late in the 17th or early in the 18th century. Prior to that the tiller was moved by a whipstaff.
il est magnifique ..
The wheel is from a much later period. It really clashes.
By chance I got to see this beauty in Cape Charles Virginia.
Same here. Saw it advertised a day before.
My ancestors came to America from England on similar ships in the 1640s which is why I was in Cape Charles. I still have family who live in the area. @@goplaces1015
Man , if you were a rope salesman back in those days you were probably living a great lifestyle .
Agreed. Was too much on the roaps. But in my defence, my 1st time videoing a boat and also, i go higher sometimes to avoid people. Im not a super skilled videographer, prefer taking pics. I do it as a hobby
Looks romantic, but was hell on earth...
Back in the old days I bet yes.
Nice clean water
That the Spanish managed to build a replica is a miracle in itself. Great job.
I mean they must have blueprints kept in archives so yeah
Que Viva España! Y Que Viva El Rey!
Groovy video
