Gran Bucanero - Spanish Galleon Photographer: Gerard McLoughlin
The Gran Bucanero is an authentic replica of an eighteenth century Spanish galleon. Built in Spain in 1985, it was used in the recreation of the landing of Christopher Columbus in San Salvador. This photograph was taken in Benalmadena.
"Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores."
'Cargoes' - John Masefield
