The Sailing Ship Juan Sebastian De Alcano<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
SONY DSC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This ship, the JS De Alcano, is owned and operated by the Escuela De Guardias Marinas, the Spanish equivalent of the US Naval Academy. Each summer, the ship makes what is essentially a world tour stopping at various ports, using the Midshipmen from the Academy as the sailors. Florida, including Pensacola, was a Spanish possession until 1822. Pensacola reflects the Spanish influence in a number of ways including some of the major street names, like Palafox, Cervantes, Cordova, Texar and a bunch of others.<\/p>\n

The ship is one of the largest remaining sailing vessels in existence. It was built in Britain (some irony there) in the early 1920’s and has been in continuous operation since. It docks in Pensacola every 5 years or so for a several day stay. It was last here in May 2023 though, several of these pictures were taken in 2009<\/p>\n

I think the subject of each shot is obvious and doesn’t need individual descriptions. Though I was amused at the labeling on the engine control.<\/p>\n

The Spanish obviously have a loooong history of Maritime Tradition.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a shot of a much smaller sailing vessel, a replica of a Spanish Galleon. I\u2019m convinced that a true sailing master of a large sailing vessel needed to be a genuine genius.<\/p>\n

There also had to be a designer.<\/p>\n

Also, the sailors in the rigging had to be mentally quite a bit above the near retarded levels pictured in historical descriptions of the ships crew. Actually, that\u2019s depressing. We like\/need to think of the people subjected to such horrific circumstances\/privations\/dangers as brutes.<\/p>\n

I just noticed two very unusual elements of this galleon design: the sail and an observation platform on the bow sprint. I\u2019ve not seen that before and definitely not on Dutch, British or French designs of the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
