A full-scale replica of the Nao Victoria, which became the first ship to circumnavigate the globe more than 500 years ago, arrived and was moored at North Wharf Quay on June 27.
The Nao Victoria left Seville in 1519 and returned to the same city in 1522, having successfully sailed across three oceans and along the edge of four continents.
Residents and visitors have the opportunity to come onboard a replica of the vessel and hear how its crew helped change the course of maritime history under the command of Juan Sebastián Elcano.
The Nao Victoria’s arrival follows the Galeón Andalucía’s successful stay last summer, which attracted thousands of families to both Scarborough and Whitby.
Visitors can step onboard the Nao Victoria between 10am and 8pm every day until Sunday, July 6.
