Visiting The Galeón Andalucía in Ramsgate, Uk. It is a replica of a 16th-17th C galleon. Sailing.
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.

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.

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.
I think this must be where the term "learning the ropes" comes from.

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

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.

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 .
Nice looking ship ^^

Excellent video. Would have been neat to see this galleon next to the Golden Hind replica to compare sizes.
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.

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!

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.

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.
