Replica Spanish Galleon 'Andalucía' To Visit Whitby & Scarborough

The ship will be moored in Whitby from 10th-15th July & Scarborough from 17th-22nd July and will be open to the public.

The visit to Scarborough coincides with Seafest which takes place from 19th - 21st July.

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, which is touring UK ports this year, will be open to the public between 10:00 and 8:00pm every day.

The public is urged to buy tickets in advance from the website tickets.velacuadra.es
