Did you know? The history of the Pascual Flores
Left derelict at the end of its merchant life and wishing to bear witness to this period of prosperity, its Spanish hometown finally bought it back in 1999 in a very poor state. After extensive renovations, and with the help of the Nao Victoria Foundation, it was transformed into a floating museum ship and is now a travelling ambassador, dedicated to navigation and representing Spanish maritime culture at events such as Bordeaux Wine Festival.
