Description
Throughout two centuries, the Spanish galleons suffered the evil arts of pirates, corsairs and filibusters to appropriate the riches brought from the New World to Europe. In this sense, the ships of these thugs were very prepared to be able to reach, board, steal and even sink the Spanish vessels with merchandise.
The pirate ships were very fast, light and efficient. Their crews did not usually exceed fifty members since they did not need more to be able to take the gold and silver from the Spanish galleons.
Its modus operandi was very common in those days. Any pirate ship was hiding in remote island docks, places through which Spanish ships had to pass. When the optimal opportunity to board them arrived, they chased the galleons as they were heavily loaded with merchandise and, therefore, were even slower.
Now you can build together with your children and grandchildren the fabulous wooden model for kids of Artesanía Latina’s Pirate Ship.
