The Neo Trinidad Visited New Bedford
The Neo Trinidad Visited New Bedford
Recently the Replica Sail Ship the Neo Trinidad, visited New Bedford and was open for people to go onboard, at a fee, it is travelling the world doing stops like it did here and it was cool to catch it and get a bunch of shots some I will share here today
It was a real hot day and I normally avoid going out in the sun in the peak of the day but I made an exception to visit this ship
Starting with a shot looking at the Stern (aka Back) of the ship, the sun was behind me so it was easier to get shots from the back than from the front

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.

It's a great thing to share your beautiful shots of your visit to the Replica Sail Ship Neo Trinidad in New Bedford.. sure it must have been a great outing for you
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Thanks and enjoy your day also
Nice shots! It's actually crazy to realize just how small these ships were. I feel like growing up they seemed much bigger. Then you actually see them now and you realize just how tiny they are/were. Very cool stuff!
I thought the same, in my mind perhaps from when i was young i Thought it was a lot bigger
I was near there on my recent trip to the US and I saw a lot of boats. It does seem amazing that people set out on the ocean in ships like that, often with little idea of where they would end up. Those were tough times.
OHh yeah this area has a lot of boats both commercials and private, its one of if not the busiest fishing port in the country
I love the boats, what a beauty, I was speechless with the second picture, it fascinated me! Thank you very much!😀
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
thanks for your feedback also its always good to know which photos really catch peoples eye
Have a great day
Have a wonderful afternoon. I love nature very much, but also history and art. Thanks to you.
How beautiful that you were able to attend this presentation of this flagship ship, dear friend @tattoodjay, and take these beautiful photographs. Without a doubt it would have been a unique and emotional moment.
Have a great day
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
I was lucky to be able to experience it for sure
Have a great day
I read about Trinidad in our history class, it's nice to see photos of its replica. Amazingly beautiful.
I think I did as well but that was so long ago I have forgotten LOL
Ha, I’m delighted to be able to see it up close. Some time ago you published photos of a port and saw the boat in the background. I wanted a little message to tell you that it was a shame not to see him. Thank you for his photos. The beauty of the ship is incredible
yes it took me a while to edit and share these photos :)
they are really beautiful thank you for sharing
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
I love boats and the journey in boats but I just see in pictures it's sad 😕but it's OK 😅
All photos are very beautiful 😻
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Your welcome
I agree the shot looking up at the sails is really cool! I love old wooden sailing ships. What a cool opportunity to check one out.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
OH! This is stunning, I am sure @growandbow would love to navigate with one like this..and I can tell you, that he probably shares the same passion as you for ropes, he is just more used to newer ropes.
Thank you for sharing!
👍🙂👍Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
my inner pirate loves the look of this ship! Thanks for sharing it with us!
👍🙂👍
Wow! A real floating museum!
The Spanish were some busy travelers during back in those days. I can't imagine surviving in such a voyage to be captured at the end. Even though a replica it is quite the sight to see. My sister is model collector of these century old ships. I personally love the the many masses these ships have and the wood work. Thanks for sharing these photos and history of this vessel :)
