Spanish Galleon Arrives in Whitby

A replica Spanish galleon has arrived in Whitby

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.

The ship acts as a floating museum and will be open to the public during its stays in Whitby and Scarborough, with five decks to explore in total.

The vessel will be open to the public in Whitby from this Wednesday and in Scarborough from 17th July.
