Unique replica of the legendary Spanish galleons
it will open for public visitation from 11th to 22th september at Gravesend Town Pier

September 10, 2024.- The Galeón Andalucía – an impressive faithful historical replica of the Spanish galleons that sailed through the world during the 16th to the 18th century-, visits Gravesend for first time. It will be docked at Gravesend Town Pier, where it will be open for public visitation from September 11th to 22th.

The ship is an imposing ship of 55 meters in length, six decks, made of iroko and pine wood, and almost a thousand square meters of sail area in its seven sails, built with careful historical rigor.
During it stay in Gravesend, public will be able to get on board, tour its five decks and learn about her details, how she sails, what life was like on board and the history of these ships. Part of the experience is boarding a ship that today sails the seas of the world with a young crew, who have amazing experiences on their long voyages. A true floating museum of our maritime culture that has already sailed more than 55,000 nautical miles across oceans and seas around the world, visiting ports on four continents, such as Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York or Quebec, spreading its history.

Its stopover in Gravesend is part of its great European tour 2024 to spread the knowledge about these legendary Spanish ships, that for three centuries connected the great continents of the planet. It has already visited ports in Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and United Kingdom. From Gravesend it will continue its tour to London. During this tour it has taken part in important festivals and international events, sailing as an authentic and unique floating museum of Spanish maritime heritage.

It will be the perfect opportunity to visit this unique replica in the world. After the success of the Galeón Andalucía in all the ports it has visited, we recommend that you buy your tickets in advance to avoid queues and not miss the opportunity to come aboard and tour the decks.
