From tomorrow (August 27), members of the public will have the chance to step aboard the Galeón Andalucía which has arrived at Shoreham Port, in Southwick.
The ship is a replica of the galleons that departed from the Andalusian coast between the 16th and 18th centuries.
The boat is set to remain at the port until Sunday (August 31).
Shoreham Port is one of the stops on the Galeón’s 2025 European tour, which includes visits to Spain, France, the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.
Later this year, the ship will cross the Atlantic to begin an American tour.
Tom Willis, Chief Executive of Shoreham Port, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Galeón Andalucía to Shoreham Port on its first ever visit.
“This is a great opportunity for our communities and visitors to the area to experience maritime history up close, highlighting Shoreham Port’s growing role as a leisure destination.”
Visitors will be able to explore the ships five decks, as well as having the chance to meet the sailors who will share stories from their global voyages on the galleon.
Ticket prices range from £12 for an adult to £6 for a child, with a family ticket costing £30.
More information can be found via the Shoreham Port website.
