Nao Trinidad

The Trinidad was the flagship of Magellan's fleet in 1519 when he set out to circumnavigate the world.  This replica was anchored in Wilmington for a few days so we stopped down for a wee look.  Sadly, we went late in the afternoon so we were looking west, into the late afternoon sun, which made life complicated for my poor iphone. I added a couple of extras so you can get some idea of what the entire ship looks like.  The big thing for me is the size, or lack thereof.  A little over 28 metres long.  I don't think I would be circumnavigating much more than my bathtub in a boat that size.
