Built in the Spanish province of Huelva during the 525th anniversary of the 1492 voyage, she was launched on March 15, 2018 as part of the historic replica fleet of the Nao Victoria Foundation in Seville. A 95-foot nao, a centuries-old vessel type known in Britain as a carrack, she sails with a crew of 20 and was berthed inside the Erie Basin Marina near the observation tower.
