Viva España!


The Naval Museum in Madrid
My first mate Aimee and I are in Madrid at the moment and we were fortunate enough to be able to take time out for the Spanish Naval Museum.

A cannon circa 1492


A true spanish galleon design. I wished I could find a model like this with the sweeping decks



The Gallery on this model is fantastic.


Not Carry-on size.

Launches, not lifeboats.

Someone got lucky.

Hasta La Vista! 

What a piece of Junk

What are you saying dear?
