The Pillars of Hercules was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The Pillars appear as supporters of the coat of arms of Spain. Thanks for taking us to such an interesting place.

[@chrishintz1077]

Thanks for the info. For awhile i thought it might have something to do with colossus of Rhodes. Your info much more apt. “It’s Greek to me”. ;).

[@steve-marsh]

Makes sense! Wish I’d known that!

[@pbyguy7059]

I couldn't have (and didn't) put it better.

[@ramonparada]

To give more info the Pillars of Hercules were usually represented with an inscription that said "Ne plus ultra" (there is nothing beyond) as a warning to sailors. It was also a famous phrase in that time. Spain proved that in fact there was more beyond so it included the pillars with the opposite inscription "Plus ultra" (There is more) in its coat of arms.

[@rsnankivell1962]

It's also present in the USD symbol ($), which is copied from the Spanish Dollar coin, in which the coat of arms of Spain appeared. It's made up of one of the pillars and a part of the ribbon that surrounds it, on which is written PLUS ULTRA.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

The straits of Gibraltar are also known as the Pillars of Hercules--that's why the statues are there. Thanks for the trip!

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for clarifying! Makes sense now!

[@pacg1]

Las "Columnas de Hércules", efectivamente se refiere al estrecho de Gibraltar, haciendo referencia a posesiones territoriales españolas en el Norte de África, además de las Islas Canarias. Dicha figura simbólica está incluida en nuestro Escudo, además de la leyenda "Plus Ultra", o "más allá" (de tales columnas), haciendo referencia a nuestras conquistas en América. (Un saludo)

Steve these ferries are built in Tasmania, Australia by Incat. They are seen world wide and one has broken the Trans-Atlantic record a while back. Normally they run at 35 knots plus so outside would be very windy not matter the weather. Always keen to see your adventures from far off Melbourne, Australia. Did not realise you are multi lingual.
