JS El Cano Museum Quality Replica Ship

Although Ferdinand Magellan is often credited with being the first man to circumnavigate the globe, he was killed half-way through the journey in 1521. His pilot Juan Sebastian de Elcano took command and arrived back at Spain with a crew of only nineteen men after a voyage of three years. De Elcano is thus a fitting choice of name for a Spanish sail-training vessel, and his four-masted namesake has served the officers and cadets of the Spanish Navy in that capacity for almost three- quarters of a century. Whether flying the flag of a monarchy, Franco's fascist dictatorship, or parliamentary democracy, Juan Sebastian de Elcano has sailed both as a training vessel and as a goodwill ambassador for Spain, and always as a vivid reminder that Spain once ruled supreme at sea.
