Training Ship Juan Sebastián Elcano & Esmeralda. 1:250 Wooden and Plastic Model Ship Kit

HISTORY OF THE SPANISH TRAINING SHIP JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO

Discover the Juan Sebastian Elcano made by Artesania Latina, the wooden and plastic model of this representative Spanish schooner brig sailboat. It is named so after the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastian Elcano, captain of the expedition -after the death of Fernando de Magallanes- who completed the first circumnavigation of the world in 1522.

Launched in 1927 in Cadiz, Juan Sebastian Elcano serves as a training ship in the Navy for the Marine Guards. In the second semester of the fourth year of their career at the Naval Military Academy, they made an instructional cruise, a six-month trip to America and some twenty thousand miles of travel. Currently, it continues to sail the seas of the planet as it is still active.
