HISTORY OF SPANISH TRAINING SHIP JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO Discover the Juan Sebastian Elcano made by Artesania Latina, the wooden and plastic model of this representative Spanish schooner brig sailboat. It is named so after the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastian Elcano, captain of the expedition -after the death of Fernando de Magallanes- completed the first circumnavigation of the world in 1522.
It was the most powerful ship of the time in terms of power, not exceeded until a century and a half later by the USS Constitution, one of the first American frigates. The Vasa ship sailed with 1,200 tons of weight and its sails area was 1,150 m2 (80 tons).
One of the strongest points of this sailboat is its great level of detail, especially reflected thanks to the many sculptures at the stern of the ship, divided into five parts: the lions with the shield, the human faces with emotions, the group of the king , the angels and the servants, and the mermaids or sea creatures. It had 700 more sculptures than he currently has, representing with striking colors heroes of the Bible, Roman emperors and Greek gods.
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. CONTENTS OF JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO MODEL SHIP KIT
