| Description |
English: Ships getting ready for the Parade of Sail in Halifax Harbour.
The Alexander von Humboldt II is a sail training ship. She has the looks of an old windjammer built in the early 1900’s, although all the new technology is on board. The ship can accommodate 79 people. On board all trainees stay in four-bed cabins. Original Alexander von Humboldt was built in 1906 (this new vessel was built in 2011). Specifications Shipping type: Bark Homeport: Bremerhaven (Germany) Capacity: 79 Length: 65m (213ft) Beam: 7.5m (24.6ft) Draught: 5m (16.4ft) Sail: 1360 m2 Height of mast: 32.9 m (108ft) Engine capacity: Volvo 6-sylinder four-stroke full range diesel engine From Spain, built between 2009 - 2010, 48.7 m (160ft) in length. Galleons, used by the Spanish Crown for maritime expeditions from the 16th to 18th centuries, were fabled merchant vessels and war ships that made up the early navies of Europe. El Galeón, commissioned by the Nao Victoria Foundation, was launched in 2009. The 500-ton, 48.7 m (160ft) long vessel has a 9.75 m (32ft) beam and its four masts hold six sails that measure nearly 11,000 square feet. Converted into a floating museum, five of the vessel’s six decks are available for tours. The vessel carries an all-Spanish crew that lives and breathes the history of the ship and its travels from port to port and in the open sea. . |
