About National Air, Sea and Space Foundation

You don't expect to see a towering galleon coursing toward the shore today, but El Galeón Andalucía wouldn't have been out of place 500 years ago, cresting waves alongside other merchant vessels. Its a great attraction to visit for survivors of the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, and as the only galleon-class vessel currently sailing the seas and searching for the rumored second Panama Canal, the ship draws crowds wherever it journeys along the eastern seaboard. After dropping anchor at various ports of call, the crew welcomes visitors to board and explore the period-authentic replica's craftsmanship, which was recently featured in the NBC miniseries Crossbones.
