Spanish Tall Ship - Juan_Sebastian_Elcano_104.JPG (0/1) - 2 attachments
I made severalcruises on EAGLE, the longest to Norway, England, Spain,
and Bermuda from New London. HF On Mon, 19 May 2008 02:11:52 GMT, "HEMI-Powered" wrote: Bouler added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... The Spanish tall ship, Juan Sebastiain Elcano, a four-masted, topsail schooner is in Miami for an R&R (liberty) and ceremonial visit. Note the provisions for square sails on the forward mast and fore-n-aft sails on the other three. They have rigged a canvas cover for the main and quarterdecks and have had receptions on board each night. It is rumored that the King of Spain (or maybe his son) was here one night. Miami has a huge Spanish presence. Even the Cuban population has ties to Spain. Many of the families in the 1960-62 flight from Castro's rise to power had only been in Cuba since they left Spain to escape the Civil War of the late 1930. They consider themselves more Spanish than Cuban. The pics are not as sharp as I'd like due to fires in the Everglades which are sending smoke over the city. And, my daughter has "borrowed" my best camera. I'll try again this afternoon with it. Here he is at full sail HiFlyer Looks like a 4-masted schooner with a metal hull. If it is Spanish Navy, it must be for the same purpose as the American Coast Guard training true "tall ship", the Eagle, pics attached. |
