El Galeon , or Galeon Andalucia, is a replica of a 17th century Spanish galleon and was launched in Spain in 2009. Original galleons were armed merchant vessels deigned to establish trade routes between Spain, the Americas and Philippines. This one is a floating museum and is currently in my local harbour so I grabbed a few cell phone snaps in my lunch break today.
Also in the harbour is the brigantine Morgenster, a former herring lugger launched in 1919 but converted in the early 1980s as a sail training and sea experience vessel.
