🟡 Norwegian Gem | The Forts Of Old San Juan Puerto Rico. A Little History Never Hurts!

Ahoy Nu Yawkers! Today we are going to learn a little history, (it's not that bad). During a recent cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Line's beautiful ship Gem, I did an excursion of Old San Juan Puerto Rico. While exploring the historic area I decided to check out some very old forts including El Moro, perhaps the most famous of all. Join me today as I do my best to give you a guided tour of these forts that are 500 years old! If you enjoy, please like, comment, ask questions, and most importantly, subscribe!
Feel free to check out all of the Nu Yawk channel's videos! They feature lots of places I like to visit such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York City, New Orleans, Orlando Parks like Disney and Universal as well as other Theme Parks. I also enjoy taking cruises and have videos on those as well! My Nu Yawk videos include activities such as slot machine pulls, hotel room tours, hotel and casino tours, restaurant visits, shopping, cruise ship tours and sometimes simply walking on beaches, boardwalks, the Las Vegas Strip or checking out various neighborhoods. I do all of this and bring you guys along for the ride! If you are planning a vacation or short trip, check out the videos for ideas and not only my opinions, but the opinions of my subscribers as well! Thanks for visiting!

👍👍👍👍

Thanks Jason!

These old forts are amazing. I have never been to Puerto Rico, but the ones in St Augustine, FL are very similar. Obviously also built by the Spanish in the 16th Century. Talk about a contrast to Las Vegas, where things are constantly demolished and rebuilt! Funny how Spain and Portugal were such big shots once upon a time. Kind of like how the Browns and Lions played each other frequently in the NFL Championship Game in the 50s. Really puts things in perspective.

[@NuYawk]

What's even funnier is that Las Vegas demolishes buildings and replaces them with buildings replicating history (Luxor, Excalibur, Caesars Palace and others)! Thanks for watching and subscribing JWD!

The Governor of Puerto Rico is who discovered and named Florida.

Really cool Professor, I mean Jeff, loved the history lesson.

Thanks Dan! You made the honor roll.

I want to hold Richard Santy's hand, but I can't find him

[@richardhales92]

I'm sorry. I should have raised my hand first.

[@NuYawk]

@@richardhales92 Relax Richard. Or no peanut butter & jelly sandwich or juice for you.

@@NuYawk I like to know what time that is; I will take a nap. Perhaps it'll get here faster. Karl took his shoes off and his feet stink! Tell him to put them back on.

[@richardsanty9063]

These forts were built hundreds of years ago. they survived numerous natural disasters. the walls must be 3 to 5 ft. thick. if so, this is how homes and buildings should be built in hurricane prone states here in the U.S. Do you know what kind of stone was used in building these forts?

[@NuYawk]

I don't. However if you look closely, it seems lots of different types of stone were used. Thanks Richard!

[@richardhales92]

That's a good idea! Do they have tornados in Puerto Rico, too? I wonder if they survived cannon fire

[@richardsanty9063]

@@richardhales92 I do recall a tornado in Puerto Rico during their last hurricane. I saw it on the national news.

[@richardhales92]

@@richardsanty9063 I certainly would like to have my home built with those stones; it's reminding me of that Huff and Puff slot machine, LOL. I took a terrible loss at the casino this week, wow! Reminder: you could sit there betting 88cents for hours and not get anything. Just saying

He disappeared 500 years ago. Some say he is 6 feet under. Some believe he is 666 feet under. Depends on who you ask. Thanks Richard!
