Nao Victoria

Tied up in Cartagena Harbour (Spain), this is a replica of the boat that set out with 4 other ships in 1519 to circumnavigate the globe, under the command of Captain Ferdinand Magellan. 243 men were in the flotilla. Three years later one ship...the Nao Victoria..and 17 men made it back, after completing the first circumnavigation of the world. Magellan had perished along the way, at the hands of Philippine Islanders.
The extra pic is a shot of the rigging.
