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

Its amazing to me that they could engineer this magnificent ship 500 years ago. All designed by hand drawings and built to such a high standard using hand tools.

Вот он, сон ставший явью. Живая история. Преемственность поколений. Радость детей, и предмет гордости взрослых. Разумно потраченные деньги наконец. Под флагом гордым Испании, если кто плохо знает историю, то Испания была некогда владычицей морей.) Классный галеон.

What a masterwork of a ship! 🙌🏽

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.

What a wonderful replica! This is like a time capsule. It looks like no expense was spared.

Thank you for taking us on a virtual tour! What a beautiful ship The Andalucia is!

And built without power tools, back in the day. Amazing craftsmanship.

She’s magnificent!!❤

Good idea to shoot from the water side view. It gives a much better visual of what the whole ship looks like. Good job!!!👍👍

When you look at all the details, even just the masts and sails. The experience that let to such amazing works of art and function, is just astounding. It is so beautiful.

That was very nice. Thank you for the wonderful video tour.

Surreal, que galeão magnífico. Muito obrigado por compartilhar. Saudações do Brasil.

Very interesting thank you for showing us this fantastic video well done 👍

Thank you very much for sharing, appreciate it a lot 👍 Greets from the Netherlands, T.

Thank you for sharing from Florida. Beautiful. Arrrrrrr

Beautiful Sailingship ...

The spanish armada was not defeated by Francis Drake, the fleet lose 28 ships by a sea storm

Amazing, great to see👌

Amazing design of the times! Wonder it was capable of cross ocean sailing in one piece! 😮

Beautiful ship

Buen vídeo, muy bien llevado, y precioso barco. Gracias por compartirlo. 👍

At certain angles she almost looks ironclad. What a beauty.

Belissima galé ...emoções....voltei ao sec. 16.... Parabéns....

Very cool, thanks.👍

Superb galleon and so solid and well built.

Thanks for sharing

España, un país con una gran tradición marinera y mucha historia, con muchas hazañas, olvidadas injustamente por la historia. Barcos como esté llegaron a crear un gran imperio y establecer un gran comercio con América. He podido visitar este magnífico barco en varias ocasiones.

she looks fantastic, i love it

Very nice. One must appreciate the technology of the Era.

Un splendide bateaux de collection.

I got this... _raise the anchor, then drop the sails and angle them into the wind, load up the cannons and assume your stations_ ...and off we go, harr harr harr 🏴‍☠😅

Muhtesem tasarım ve guzel işçilik . 👏

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.

hi. great ship and looks very well made, also helps me when modeling these ships

Que Viva España! Y Que Viva El Rey!

Nice looking ship ^^

I saw this on 17th July (2024) in Scarborough. It is a very beautiful and impressive ship. Fully seaworthy. It was exactly as I imagined them to be. It is very big, it doesn't really look as big on this film as it did when I saw it. I noticed there was no figurehead and I am wondering if Spanish galleons didn't have them. I can imagine seafaring ancestors climbing up those masts to sort out the rigging.

Two thousand trees had to be felled, years of work, and a ship like that could sink into the sea in just a few minutes.

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Mind boggling the amount of scarce materials and skilled labor in the thing.

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!

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

Groovy video

I wondered why I had not seen her in Huelva the last few months, she is doing a UK tour, including my old city of Cardiff. Nice little video documentary Julia, if you ever visit Huelva you could visit her sister replica ships Nao Victoria, Nao Santa Maria and El Galeon.

I was there too. Great 👍

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

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

Very nice!

Nice clean water

Miles and miles of ropes. Maintaining and constantly replacing these ropes must have been an enormous job.

I can imagine how hi tech this would have looked to the common people of the day who visited the dock and saw them. They are the equivlent of our space craft.

Steering wheels for ships were introduced only very late in the 17th or early in the 18th century. Prior to that the tiller was moved by a whipstaff.

Amazing replica, royal navy Mary rose, was pretty big, at 800t, had steep bow, stern castles.

Linda embarcação👏

I'm from Ramsgate and used to work there too, you can even see my old office too ^^ Random fact. Royal Ramsgate Harorbour is the only Royal harbour in the country.

Crafters wood masterpiece of the era sea elegance and war ship ingenious.

The shape is a remarkable design, more like a SHOE, or TRAINER!

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 ship 👍👍

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.

The wheel is from a much later period. It really clashes.

how many miles of line are on her? looks like a few.

Большое спасибо за подробный обзор.

This sailship it's so beautifully good sailship ohhhh yeahhhh

Looks awesome

Learned to waterski behind one. Great boats.

Huge ships. That sailed across the oceans .

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.

That would be a blast to take out to sea!

Great to see sail ship again... Yeah look alike the black pearl of captain jack sparrow realy exist

Those huge multiline blocks where to pull the boom up or down. I could not find the winch for that. Hope to see one day at YT video made by a sailor with knowledge on those craft. They where extremely complicated and need hundred of head count to make the ship sail

Cool!!!!

Este Jack anda por todos lados

Es bellísimo ese barco no se como le llamen ahí pero esta bien echó

I would feel very safe sailing these back then.

I would love to see her handling Rough seas!

Am I mistaken in thinking this vessel is under sparred? It's missing top sails on all 3 masts.

Amazing!}}}} Tnx

have been on her she's absolutley amazing

Man , if you were a rope salesman back in those days you were probably living a great lifestyle .

bellissima..

Must be visited!

Una belleza...... Septiembre 9-23

Ooo made in Spain very good

Excellent!

SUPER..

Good material, but a camera too nervous!

all I can visualize is cannon balls rolling all over the floor!!

Memória galeão português princípio de tudo. Maiores navegantes todos copiaram.

The great vintage ship old is gold tred marc vasko d

How about the inside the hull? The multi levels etc

By chance I got to see this beauty in Cape Charles Virginia.

First off , how many galleon's does it hold or maybe it's just a quart .

The shape of this reminds me of drawings of the Mary Rose, which makes me wonder if anyone has thought about making a replica of Mary Rose.

lovely video make it phenominal with narration! i'd love to hear your thoughts and more about the details you find interesting!

Saw her down in Weymouth, bit quieter where you were!

Looks romantic, but was hell on earth...

I want to move on board right now 😂

I wonder if there are a few crafty electric winches under those props on the deck. 😏
