HISTORY OF SPANISH TRAINING SHIP JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO

Discover the Juan Sebastian Elcano made by Artesania Latina, the renewed wooden and plastic model of this representative schooner brig sailboat Spanish. It is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastian Elcano, captain of the expedition -after the death of Fernando de Magallanes-, who completed the first round the world in 1522.

Launched in 1927 in Cadiz, Juan Sebastian Elcano serves as a training ship in the Navy for the Marine Guards. In the second semester of the fourth year of their career at the Naval Military Academy, they made an instructional cruise, a six-month trip to America and some twenty thousand miles of travel. Currently, it continues to sail the seas of the planet as it is still active.
