The Galeón Andalucía was moored in Warrenpoint Town Dock from June 17 to June 21.
The ship is a painstakingly accurate, full-scale replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon.
The Galeón Andalucía is an impressive 55-meter-long ship featuring six decks, meticulously built from iroko and pine wood. It boasts nearly 1,000 square meters of sail area spread across seven sails.
Built by the Fundación Nao Victoria in Punta Umbría (Andalusia, Spain) with rigorous historical accuracy, it showcases the thousands-of-years-old maritime tradition of the Andalusian community.
It stands as a symbol of Andalusia, the southernmost autonomous community in Peninsular Spain, located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe.
Thes ship reflects an era when this region was the ideal launchpad for the maritime expeditions that explored the world and initiated globalization.
This ship has already covered hundreds of thousands of nautical miles across the globe, visiting ports on four continents—such as London, Liverpool, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York, and Quebec—welcoming thousands of visitors at every stop.
Today, it travels as a floating ambassador for Andalusia as a tourist destination, as part of its grand 2026 European tour through several cities in France, England, Ireland, and Northern Europe.
