- Santísima Trinidad - Spanish Galleon in Alicante Harbour.
The "Santísima Trinidad" is now moored in Alicante harbour.
The "Santísima Trinidad" was launched in 1769 in the Habana (Cuba) navy yard. At that moment, the ship was known as "Escorial" (because Escorial refers to a great Spanish monastery) due to its magnificence and was the biggest and most armed vessel in the world.
It took two years to build, was 63 metres (208 feet) long, 17 metres (55 feet) wide and 8 metres (27 feet) high. It weighed 4.950 tonnes, had 140 cannons and a 160 man crew. Several fine woods were used in its construction such as mahogany.
The "Santísima Trinidad" took part in a lot of decisive historical events while it was crossing the seas.
The galleon was the Spanish flagship in July 1779 during the American War of Independence when Spain and France declared war against the British to support North America.
It was also part of the missions in the English Channel later on in 1780, the ship helped to capture an English convoy formed from 66 vessels.
Two years later it was incorporated into the so called Mediterranean Squad and fought in the Espartel's Cape.
However, the ship is famous for its tragic end in 1805 during the Battle of Trafalgar.
After massive fight, the ship was finally seized by the English in awful conditions with huge structural damage and the loss of 200 men.
The English fleet tried hard to save the Spanish ship by taking it to their port in Gibraltar. However, their efforts were in vain as it finally sank 25 miles off the coast on October 24th.
That sinking was the beginning of the end of Spanish power on the seas.
Nowadays, the greatest and most powerful warship of the 18th Century lies at the bottom of the sea.
Its artillery however was removed and is on show at the Naval museum in Cadiz.
The ship in Alicante harbour is an exact replica of the "Santísima Trinidad".
It took over 2 years to build and cost more than 4 million Euros.

This wasnt a galleon.. this was a ship of the line, the biggest and with more guns ever created....
I agree, apart from biggest. Some French ships were slightly larger.
@@BigMrFirebird Nope, The Santisima Trinidad still stand as the biggest sailing warship ever created from that era.
@@castellanos6436 4 puentes nada más y nada menos construido en la Habana y remodelado en la península 💪
@@castellanos6436 largest, not the most guns
Wrong, the hms duke of Kent had more guns, and the hms Victoria had the biggest displacement of any ship of that era
The Santisima Trinidad was the only ship of its kind to ever see battle. Four decks, 136 guns at peak strength. She cost as much as an army and I’m sure her loss was a massive loss to Spain. Just like she would have been a massive prize for Britain had she not sunk off the cost of Cadiz.
Max gun count was 140 on this ship, and it's credited as only having 112 at the time of completion.
you have never seen a galleon, that is a ship of the line
Bruno López Technically it is a Ship of the Line, but you can also call it a galleon since the term is also used to describe any large warship same as Man O' War
But yes, technically this is a 1st rate SOTL
Bruno López They also couldve confused it with the Manila Galleon of the same name
Ethan justice but that confuses people and each vessel should have it's category.
@@TheNitoGaming Yes, i kinda agree with you
It's neither: it's a restaurant.
The Santisima Trinidad is a Spanish historical ship that was launched in 1769. She was a first-rate ship of the line with 112 guns but this number was later increased to 130 in 1795 ,she Was a behemoth that was heavily damaged in a battle surrendered to the Neptune, a 98-gun second rate and the 98-gun second rate Prince in 1805 The British worked hard to save the ship and brought her to the British port of Gibraltar, towed by the frigate HMS Phoebe and HMS Naiades. Eventually, however, she sank about 25 or 28 miles south of Cadiz on October 24. It was a masterpiece of it's time
Some sources tell the Ship was later upgraded with total 140 canons.
and why the fuck is now a Coffe bar? Or is this the replica and the original is well preserved?
@@recuerdosdehoenn9619 Replica and a bad one at that.
Beg to differ. Upon her sea trials she was shown to be too unstable and was recommended to be used for harbor defence only. Despite later modifications she continued to struggle.
@@techdefined9420 120 when converted to a four decker. She then had an additional 16 guns fitted = 136.
and there is a typo, she carried a lot more than a 160 man crew. Closer to 1000+ man crew.
A galleon is way smaller. This is a ship of the line
The original was made in the Havana shipyards, where the largest warships in the world were produced at that time.
That ship's a beauty!
That is your grandfather x100 killer
It's not a ship. It's about as sea worthy as a refrigerator. The real ship that this is a tacky "replica" of was scuttled after being captured by Royal Navy at Trafalgar. This is a restaurant.
Es una poca vergüenza querer hacer pasar este trasto por réplica del majestuoso Santísima Trinidad,es engañar a la gente que no tiene ni idea ,está arrinconado ya por ahí ,así se unda pronto
Love thí ship
Magnífico buque, uno de los mejores que tuvo la armada española.
Difiero... Ser más grande o tener más cañones no lo hace mejor. Mejor sería haber logrado un equilibrio entre eficacia de disparo, rapidez y robustez. Existen otros barcos mejores en la historia de la armada española.
@@antonioalonso2986 como que buques? A lo largo de la historia naval española seguro que habrían barcos muy buenos. Pero éste habrá tenido más repercusión por algo.
Cita algunos para conocerlos mejor.
@@TOM-ic8yk Hola Tom, gracias por contestar. En este caso el Santísima Trinidad puede haber ganado su fama debido a su gran tamaño, sobre todo después de las reformas donde se añadieron cañones e incluso una cubierta más... y más importante aún, por haber participado como buque insignia en la batalla de trafalgar, de consecuencias históricas. Pero en realidad se trataba de un buque pesado, lento, complicado de maniobrar debido a su inestabilidad (se construyó con cubiertas muy altas, pensando todavía en la guerra de abordajes...) pero en realidad era poco eficaz. Te recomiendo que leas por ejemplo la historia del San Ignacio de Loyola "El Glorioso", y su hazaña conocida como "la carrera del glorioso". Barcos punteros para su época fueron las carabelas, carracas, galeras ponentinas, fragatas, corbetas... todos estos quizá tuvieron un mayor impacto y supusieron un mayor avance que un galeón torpe y sobredimensionado, justo cuando éstos estaban a punto de convertirse en obsoletos...
@@TOM-ic8yk haciendo hincapié en su repercusión en la historia, sería equiparable perfectamente a la repercusión que tuvieron en su momento los acorazados Bismark y Yamato... seguramente de "los mejores" buques de su época en cuanto a tamaño y capacidad de disparo... pero en cuanto a efciciencia y resultados, sus gestas se redujeron a infundir temor en sus enemigos, ya que su escasa maniobrabilidad y elevados costos operativos y de fabricación, a la larga supusieron un hándicap, pues se convirtieron un "blanco simbólico" del enemigo por lo que se tuvieron que destinar elevados recursos para protegerlos con el coste de oportunidad que suponía. (No como por ejemplo el caso de los portaaviones, donde está justificado, debido a su distinta función estratégica, proteger estos buques...
Uno de los peores diseños, el yamato de su época e igual de inútil
she fought many battles and she soaked most of the damage during the fight, truly a beast. When Victory arrived. she was already battered. Had no choice but to fight Victory wounded til the end. Truly a Heroic act
When I was in Alicante last time it didn't look so impressive anymore with all the broken masts, are there any plans for restauration?
lindo...😍
Brutal !!!!!
so sad, the once mighty flag ship that represents the naval power of Spain... is now converted to...
A DAMN CAFE??????
wa cheok sing
It’s actually just a crappy replica. The real one was sunk in the battle of Trafalgar. Apparently the English were trying to take it but failed.
TheAlmightySalmon
Yup
Gotta get the money somehow
@Perseus IX I dont think she would be bigger, it says that she was 63m long but Victory was 69m long. She was probabbly only taller and wider
Its a copy but not a replica!
The wheel that made that original ship must have been 100 foot across, you can tell because that curvature at the Bow can only be made so consistently with a grinding wheel of the same curvature, so if you carry the angle in a circle, you see the size of tool neccessary to cut these boards, Giant.
It would be taller than the ship, if stood vertical, 5 stories or so tall, probably made of Stone
Now it is apparently closed for entrance by local authorities.
Que grandes fuimos
It is not a galleon, it's a 1 line war-ship !
1st class
Esto está en Alicante?
Well I be damned! I thought the HMS victory was the last first rate ship of the line. But then here's this big beautiful beast.
WesleyMedema2 no wait i must of confused you. I meant the HMS Victory in Great Britain. That's still alive today. This ship is totally different.
WesleyMedema2 oh ok thank you!
Nope. Please don't come up with false information. Let's get this straight :
1) The HMS Victory, Launched in 1765, currently stationned in Portsmouth, is the very last Military Ship of the line from the Napoleonic era, since the other one that survived to the 20th century (HMS Implacable) was scuttled in 1949. HMS Victory did NOT sink whatsoever, ""XD"".
2) This ship on the vid is far from being ""A GOD"". It's actually a fat, inaccurate, square-hulled tourist trap that I wouldn't dare call a disneyland replica. IT'S A FUCKING RESTAURANT !!! HMS Victory, on the other hand, is the actual flagship of the current Royal Navy Admiral, which makes it the oldest commisionned warship in the world.
3) Wanna see a proper replica ? I'll suggest you get familiar with the self-documentation process - with wich you seem to have some slight troubles - and go check the reconstitution of the Hermione (Lafayette's Ship).
4) Stop wanking yourself on a fantasy picture of a 2745 cannons 6 deckers 5 masts 1729 maxi-galleon that-sure-existed-but-the-government-doesn't-want-you-to-know-it, and get your shit together before spreading bullshit to other people.
Sincerely,
sundown005 thank you for clearing this up. Lol 😄
haha np man x) be sure to do your own research work whenever you get random info like that ;) For such a fascinating topic it sure is worth it !
What a shame, now it's just a square wood snack bar/restaurant
Background music ?
How close is it to the original? It doesn’t seem to have a lot of tumblehome. Was this built on a barge?
yes, it has no superstructure
Looks like a barge with a bad mock up design to look like a sailing ship
santisima trinidad is biggest ship of the line ever, bigger than the famous HMS victory
It’s a restaurant?
The ship 'Santísima Trinidad' was NOT a galleon... It WAS a 'Ship of the line' ... The largest 'ship of the line' in history
The 'Warship of the line' became the ancestor of the 20th-century battleship, whose very designation is itself a contraction of the phrase "ship of the line of battle" or, more colloquially, "battleship of the line
Wait! Is this a scale re-construction? If so where do I go to visit it?
I think Alicante
But if i remember correctly it was a restaurant
@@michaelcorden2227 restaurant & bar/disco
@@miguelrevo DRAT!
Also the most luxuous ship ever made
Ornat na that’s victory
A Man-O-War
Nice video! But this ship is not exactly a galleon but a Ship of the line.
As others are saying this is a very poor fake reproduction of the actual ship for use as a tourist draw card. If you were to look at any surviving plans of the actual ship this is nothing more than a floating box with only a passing resemblance to said actual ship of the line. But I'm sure the tourists love it, thinking it's the the real thing.
It is real scale or not ?
Sin duda creo que ese navío merece una visita guiada, con buena iluminación y detalle, creo que los maniquies no aportan gran cosa, mas bien asemeja personajes de tren fantasma. Es un navío inmenso para un recorrido oscuro de de 4 munitos!
lo que necesita es un mínimo de respeto...redecoracion más como un museo o réplicas y menos putos sofás y terrazitas para la cervecita...algún actor o algo vestido coño...que vergüenza haber logrado preservarlo tanto tiempo para ponerle una Amstel al sol al giri de turno
This does not even attempt to be a replica. It is just a restaurant !
Muy hermosa mujer...la modelo
the beam is too flat, it would have been cool if the replica had better symmetry with the broadsides.
A truly magnificent Man-of-War .. it is sad that part of it being used as a café so to defray the huge maintenance costs. Still, they have managed to do a great job in meeting maintenance needs.
actually its a ship of the line. Its way bigger
Lol this is actually a sad replica of the real santisima trinidad
The original was sunk in 1805 after the battle of Trafalgar
Con tres puentes, el mejor navío de guerra que tuvo la Armada española
Cuatro, a partir de su remodelación... pero discrepo en eso "del mejor"
orgullosamente construido en La Habana
Histórico: en 2 andanadas dejó al Victory del pobre Nelson, sin pañales, y a la deriva: y si el Villanueve (RARO RARO RARO) no se interpone al medio, no hubiera quedado ni para palillos chinos de los de comer. Pobre Nelson, el muerto, y su esposa e hija abandonados a su suerte. Uff, que Corona, la inglesa.
Conciencia, tu veux dire que c'est grâce à Villeneuve que le Victory à pu rentrer chez lui
@@codjo7868 Villanueve fue asesinado posteriormente en un Hotel en Francia. ¡¡Porque!! Para que no Hablara??? Salud2
Isnt it a ship of the lane?
Yes it is but sadly not a very good one...
The proportions are mistaken and bassically it isn't even seaworthy in its condition as a Cafe!!!
Soo sad:(
They could have made it brilliant and perfekt but...
Even though i am sure it could head out seabound with Crew of the spanish navy or enough volunteers:)
You just need enough men. I think on the original one the Crew was about 1200 or?
This is a sad looking replica of the original
The scale models I've seen have a curvier hull and a much more rakish profile. This slab-sided behemoth was obviously designed by a land lubber, and would be hurtful to the eyes of anybody with an ounce of salt in their veins.
Es una réplica ?
Una pésima réplica del santísima Trinidad original
Santisima Trinidad vs HMS Neptune
Tour.
A replica to be precise. The real one was scuttled by the British just after the Battle of Trafalgar, northwest of Cadiz.
The shape of it looks different to other ships of that era, say for example the Victory which is the real thing. It looks more square the stern, the face where all the main cabins are looks flatter and the forecastle looks significantly taller. Is it an accurate representation of the original?
Yup, I thought the same, looks quite ugly, but I think it's just because it is a cheap replica of the original one.
a tourist attraction but a terrible copy from a shipbuilding perspective
No, it isn't an accurate representation at all. It cannot even be considered as a bad copy. It is just an atraction for tourists -that do not know how a ship of the line looked like- made by a private company.
1st Rate
Voy a dar mi opinión.
Yo creo que el Santísima Trinidad debe ser tratado con respeto honor y gloria.
Menos cafetería ni cervezas.
👸👸👸👸💫💫💫👑👑👑👑
Santísima tinidad
The real one must have been stunning to see this looks like a insult to its memory
Sea fortresses
ЖАЛКАЯ СОВРЕМЕННАЯ ПОДЕЛКА
What, did we give it back after Trafalgar?
no, this is a replica of the original, the original sank at Trafalgar after an attempt to capture the ship by the british
@@ClementinesCoins The British did capture the ship. It sank in a storm whilst being towed back to Gibraltar, as did most of the other prizes taken in the battle. It deprived the British crew men of so much prize money, that a special fund was set up in Britian to raise money for the sailors who fought in the Battle.
Viva España abajo pérfida albion
this repro looks rather "slab- sided"
This is a man o war
It is a first rate
Todo un orgullo para España y dios mío cómo ha terminado...... No han tenido co...... Ningún gobierno de España para verlo mantenido listo y preparado para navegar aquí de lo único se preocupan es de ro..... Muchos chorizo para tan poco pan.
Este es una réplica "barata"... el auténtico está todavía hundido frente a las costas de Cádiz...
Museumm
Well this really no galleon. The rigging and the hull construction belongs to the modern ships of the line, used at this time. This ship is huge and with 140 canons well armed. A crew of 160 men, well that is not right. Maybe 160 able seamen. The total crew, I think is more in the range of 800 to 1000 men.
136 guns.
Galleon??? Biggest battleship of its time,
Una replica pachanguera del parque tematico. A los espanish no les da verguenza a exponer este trasto como la "Santissima Trinidad". Que malos !
A SHIP OF THE LINE THROUGH & THROUGH. YOU FOOL!!!
I'm sorry but this floating thing has absolutely nothing that resembles the ship built by the Spanish admiralty. To present this square wooden box as an accurate replica is an insult to the men who built some of the most beautiful ships of the line. It's rather sad actually.
Spain indeed did built some of the finest ships in the world at this time unfortunately more often than not manned by incompetent officers. And sailors who were even worse Spain has not won a major naval battle since 1571
Thank you, I came here to find this comment. I was already extremely skeptical that this square box was supposed to be an "exact replica".
Ya lo han quitado de su ubicación, está desarbolado en un rincón del puerto. Escribo desde Alicante (España)
Bien hecho. Era una mierda, llamarlo réplica era un insulto.
Port alacant.
El MAS poderoso BUQUE de linea de la Epoca..
That's no galleon. It's a ship of the line.
This is not the Santisima Trinidad, it's a bad private copy for a restaurant. Yes, it's a restaurant. A metal ship, covered in cheap wood.
Es impresionante , eh incluso su final pese a ser superado por gran número de barcos nunca dejó de combatir el St.Trinidad .
España
I know about these old ships. Something strikes me as not quite right with this reproduction.
Thought the same.
Sad that her surrender was forced by a ship half her size in crew and in gun count
Is no one going to mention how this is a poor recreation. Her lines are all wrong.
That is not an accurate copy of the ship of the line
1st a Galleon its from XVI century, Santisima was from XVIII cent, and it was a first rate ship, 2nd, this is not a replica, its a poorly decorated cargoship, with no real similarities to the original.
The victory in Portsmouth England is the actual ship not a replica. It probably contributed to kick in the ass of the Spanish tuna boat😛
This is indeed a terrible copy of the biggest ship of the line ever built. But the Spanish tuna boats kicked your ass in multiple, multiple occasions: from the fiasco of the Counter-Armada of your Elisabeth I in which we killed the pirate Drake, to the massive and shameful beaten up you were delivered in Cartagena de Indias in 1741; not forgetting the +50 ships of a British convoy taken to Cadiz by our admiral Cordova in 1780, or Nelson defeated and almost killed in Tenerife, or your defeat in Azores in 1591... I could carry on, the list is endless. Eventually we are speaking of the Spanish Navy, the first one to explore America, the 1st one to explore the Pacific Ocean and the 1st one to circumnavigate the globe... Historical achievements that the Royal Navy cannot even dream of. You don't tell to us how to build ships, how to sail them or how to fight in the sea, boyo, just because you beated us a couple times. Show respect.
Nelson was killed in that battle.. maybe some bad tuna guy.
You are the ones living in that grey island...tee hee
El mejor navío de línea de la flota española.140 cañones.era el más poderoso de todo el mundo.junto con el Santa Ana 120 cañones y el príncipe de Asturias 110 cañones.valientes marinos españoles que en trafalgar escribieron letras de oro.en trafalgar el santísima trinidad tuvo que pasar por en medio del Victory de 110 cañones y del royal sovereing de 125 cañones abriendo fuego por ambas bandas a la vez con sus 140 cañones para ayudar al Santa Ana.que locura..... el almirante gravina que lo mandaba junto con Alcalá galiano y churruca lo valían.barrieron a quemarropa a ambos navíos ingleses.ya tenían muchos muertos y heridos a bordo y varias vías de agua.pero pasaron con dos 🥚🥚 entre ellos. Y ayudaron al navío de su majestad Santa Ana que estaba bajo el fuego de dos fragatas inglesas y una tercera que se acercaba peligrosamente por estribor.
Buena exposición.
Qué dices? Tienes un buen cacao tú, no has dado ni una. El Santa Ana, el Príncipe de Asturias y el Royal Sovereign pelearon en el otro extremo de la línea de batalla en la que peleó el Trinidad. El Trinidad peleó junto al buque de Villeneuve en el centro de la línea de batalla, contra el Victory y otros, sí; pero no contra el Royal Sovereign, que iba en una columna diferente al Victory y que sí peleó contra el Santa Ana. Y las fragatas no entraron ninguna en combate en Trafalgar, sólo navíos de línea.
Churruca no iba en el Trinidad, comandaba el San Juan Nepomuceno, que estaba en la misma zona de combate que el Santa Ana y el Príncipe. Y Gravina tampoco estaba en el Trinidad sino en el Príncipe de Asturias.
its not the real one
É un falso
I think it's a 1st rate ship
it is
The original was. This is not.
Oh ok
اسطول الامرال نيلسون الدي استطاع بان يلحق باول هزيمه لجنرال الفرنسي نابليون بونا برت
This is a horrible representation of the Trinidad. WTF
But don't compared to HMS victory
lol it is compared with HMS Victory alot
@@lolipopplayzzz7825 How? Victory's the real deal.
@@BigMrFirebird No it wasnt. This was madw of caoba wood and had 18 more guns than Victory.
The ship is an exact replica
No. And what's more, ships at that time weren't build following a plan. Hence the non-existence of the latter. Plus it's a fucking restaurant.
This ship isn´t a exact replica, if you see the original pictures about the ship, you will see the big different
No
Why do you keep saying this is an EXACT replica? It look absolutely nothing like the real ship. This is a ridiculous square wooden box that looks like a toy made by a kid.
это ерунда а не копия. от настоящей Сантисима Тринидад там бы сердце билось от трепета и своим величием она бы ввергала в шок. а это просто позорная поделка
Dejar de poner esta mierda de cosa flotante como réplica del Santísima Trinidad ,por favor
Totalmente de acuerdo. Es un engendro horripilante, sin el más mínimo valor histórico.
Should never of gave it back.
This is a bad reproduction, the real one sank
Que feo es , que mal hecha está la restauración de ese barco del demonio .
lol its a shitty replica.
This shitty replica really doesnt do any justice to the real Santisima Trinidad
I wonder if she is still seaworthy...
She never was.
Pero si se hundió en trafalgar con más de la mitad de su tripulación mientras sus cañones seguian disparando.😳😳😳🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 honor a los valientes marinos Españoles que murieron en el.ni se rindieron ni arriaron la bandera como debe ser.esto será una reproducción no?
Pues claro. Es una burda reproducción. Nada que ver con el navío original.
El Trinidad no se hundió en la batalla, sino a consecuencia del temporal posterior y de las graves averías que había sufrido. Y se hundió habiéndose rendido a los ingleses, que intentaban conducirlo a Gibraltar, cosa que por supuesto no consiguieron. Esta cosa de Alicante no llega ni a ser una malísima copia. Es una auténtica vergüenza llamarle "réplica"
That ain't santisima, santisima was sunk by neptune
Sunk by the storm.
Analfabeto
