A remarkable ship is coming to Bristol for the city's Harbour Festival - giving visitors a chance to step aboard a full-scale replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon.

Galeon Andalucia was built between 2009 and 2010 by the Nao Victoria Foundation and was designed and developed by Ignacio Fernandez Vial at the Punta Umbria shipyard in Huelva, Spain.

The boat was launched on November 30, 2009, and masts added at the beginning of 2010.
