The vessel will be open to the public in Whitby from this Wednesday and in Scarborough from 17th July.
The 'Galeón Andalucía' is a replica spanish galleon, built in 2009, and tells the story of spanish galleons of the past.
These ships were designed to discover and then establish trade routes between Spain, America and the Phillipines Islands from the 16th to the 18th century.
The replica ship weighs 500 tonnes, is 160ft long and has a beam of 32ft.
Four masts hold six sails which total 11,000 square feet.
She has sailed all around the world, including across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
She is currently sailing down the east coast towards Whitby where she is expected to arrive between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. This evening's high tide in Whitby is just before 7:00pm. Her current position, according to ShipAIS is here:
