The Nao Trinidad, a replica of the ship commanded by Ferdinand Magellan, is docked at the Charleston Maritime Center through Sunday, June 16th.
The Nao Trinidad was the flagship of what was called Armada del Maluco (1519-1522), captained by Magellan. Five ships (Naos) departed from Sevilla, but only two made it to the Spice Islands, Nao Trinidad was one of them.
The Naos have a unique and original design that made them the most advanced in naval engineering, used first as cargo ships in Spain and then taking the lead as exploring vessels. The ship is a full-scale replica, faithful on its design and dimensions.
Visitors will be able to tour four decks and see what life was like onboard. They will be able to learn about the maneuvering, the rigging, and interact with the crew.
You can visit the ship between 10 am to 7 pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
