History – Nao Trinidad was the flagship of Magellan’s expedition that led to the first circumnavigation of the earth, confirming for the first time that the world was round, which many take as the greatest maritime achievement of all times. 2022 is the 500th anniversary of this epic adventure and we celebrate it with an extensive exhibition on board about the expedition. Out of 5 ships that sailed out of Spain, Nao Trinidad was one of the only two vessels that accomplished the expedition’s goal: getting to the spice islands (currently Indonesia) by sailing west.
