Nao Trinidad

Good Morning

Today I will share a few shots from last year when the replica of the old ship Nao Trindad visited Popes Island Marina here in New Bedford.

Its not that I dont have new shots, as I do I just have had trouble this past week finding either the time or the motivation to edit photos, been ina bit of a funk but will break out of that :)

and I just saw that this replica ship is visitign again in a few days will try and go and visit it again when it does

Starting with this shot looking up at the lasts and crows nest

in case you have not heard of the term Crows Nest
A crow's nest is a lookout platform on a ship's main mast that provides a wide field of view for spotting hazards, other ships, or land. The term "crow's nest" can also refer to a small, raised perch used for other purposes, such as hiding or spying
A little bit about the Original Neo Trinidad

The nao Trinidad was the flagship of the Magellan-Elcano expedition, leading the first sailing around the world between 1519 and 1522, which was the greatest maritime feat in history. An expedition that circumnavigated the globe for the first time, opening new routes, connecting continents and oceans, and getting to know the peoples and cultures that inhabited the lands they touched along their immense journey: Brazil, Argentina, the Mariana Islands, the Philippine Islands, Indonesia, Brunei and Timor.

It set sail from Seville (Spain) on 10 August, 1519, at the head of a fleet of five ships which, following its guidance, crossed the Atlantic, sailed along the coast of South America, discovered the Strait of Magellan and crossed the Pacific Ocean for the first time in history. They reached the Mariana Islands, the Philippines and the Moluccas, where the destiny of the Flagship Trinidad would change.

After more than two years at sea and with the fatigue of sailing thousands of nautical miles, the Trinidad sprang a huge leak in its hull. This prevented its return to Spain from the Moluccas with the expedition’s only other surviving ship—its companion, the Victoria. The latter did make it home, completing the First Sailing Around the World just months later.

Meanwhile, the Trinidad was involved in the toughest incident of the voyage. With the damage repaired, it attempted to return to Spain by sailing eastward, with 54 men on board, but was defeated by strong headwinds and currents. It was forced to sail northward until it reached the 42nd parallel north, when a violent storm nearly caused its wreckage. Cold, hunger, thirst and scurvy mercilessly struck the ship and its men.

Giving up, the ship returned to the Moluccas after six months of suffering and fighting against the sea, with just 17 survivors. There, the Portuguese were waiting for them; they captured the crew and abandoned the battered ship in those waters, where, exhausted and damaged, it met its end.

I'm not sure if when I shared other posts from this visit if I shared any inside the ship, they had some displays on the history of the ship which was quite interesting

Beautiful pics and interesting history about this ship.
Have a great day

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well, don't let depression get worse, I hope you get better soon dear friend @tattoodjay

I really like the photos of ships. Excellent shots

What a beautiful ship! I love those replicas of the old Spanish ships, the same ones that left so much gold and silver all over the sea floor of the Caribbean. Great story too, it really would have sucked to have been one of those sailors slowly dying from scurvy and starvation. Sailing back then is akin to space travel today, but probably even more dangerous back then!

That's so cool! 😎 The ship reminds me of one of my favorite anime, One Piece. Thanks for sharing.

!INDEED

Rigging of the old ships after incredible manufacture in design made to the waters discovering countries far and wide. Difficult to envisage sailing in one today against the elements.

Hope you feel better soon, take care.

I love outings like this! Great and interesting photos! It would be great if you can revisit it when it is back in your area!

Motivation can definitely be hard, especially when the Winter months are right around the corner. It always surprises me just how small these ships actually were. Especially compared to the vessels out there today.

I don''t know how the sailors did it back then. No wonder they were considered a tough lot. Yeah, the modern ships today are a lot more roomy for sure. Funny thing is modern Sailors and Marines still complain about cramped quarters. It's all relative I guess.

I know I wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm not sure how my dad did for three years.

The modern Navy ships aren't so bad. I spent a lot of time on them when I was in the Marines. But as jarheads, we only spent up to 6-7 months on them at the most. I wouldn't want to do it for threee years either. Big Salute to your pops.

Well to be fair part of the time he was on base in Vietnam, so it wasn't all on the ship. He was on a guided missile destroyer which was probably a bit smaller than some of the others. I saw it from the expressway docked in Philly a long time ago, but I think they have scrapped it since then.

Yeah, they are fairly small compared. Most of my time on ships were on LHA and LHD class so never been on a destroyer.

Have you seen the new Littoral ships they have been making for river combat and stuff like that? I passed one in dock up in Marinonette, WI. It was pretty sweet looking.

Yes, I have never been on the newer stuff. They almost look like spaceships in the water.

Great this story and these pictures, I learned something new, and I had no idea that this part of the ship was called Crow's nest, in Spanish it's called Carajo and it's also a bad word style, like sending you to a place where no one wants to be and it's ugly, haha.

But above all, I loved to know in summary what you tell us about this Magellan's expedition. Thanks for the data and for sharing it! Regards

Fun old boat 👍 love that first shot. There is something about sailing ships that is always majestic.

Great shots as usual.

What a neat setup they have with the displays and stuff. Can't wait to see any updates you share. I like looking at old ships.

A good Perspectives, mate! 🫴🏻🫴🏻😍
