Nao Victoria

The Nao Victoria is a replica of the original Victoria which was built around 1518 and became the first ship ever to circumnavigate the world following an expedition that commenced in 1519 and concluded in 1522. The ship was a carrack which were 3 or 4 masted ocean going vessels. Following the expedition the Victoria was repaired and used as a merchant vessel before it was lost around 1570. This replica was built in 1992 and tours for educational purposes and I caught up with it in Ramsgate over the weekend.
