A great honour for #boludatowage to assist and escort the #JuanSebastianElcano, which departed from the port of Las Palmas yesterday, with the Boluda tugs VB TAMARAN and VB ADRIATICO.
The immaculate and almost centenary school ship in which the future officers of the Spanish Navy are trained will start the XCVI training cruise by crossing the Atlantic to set sail to the Brazilian port of Fortaleza.
This training cruise will be a six-month voyage through the Panama Canal, with calls in seven countries. We wish the topsail schooner smooth winds and fair seas! ⚓ 🌊
The “Juan Sebastián Elcano” is the Spanish Navy midshipmen training vessel. She is a four-masted topsail schooner with a hull made of iron and a crew composed of 220 members, including midshipmen. She was launched in 1927 and delivered to the “Armada” in 1928. Since then, she has completed 77 training voyages including ten circumnavigations of the globe; this is, more than one and a half million nautical miles sailed. The vessel is named in honour of Juan Sebastián de Elcano, the first navigator to complete a voyage around the globe.
