Wharf of the Caravels

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The Spanish province of Huelva is closely connected to Spain's Age of Exploration which began with the launching of the first voyage of Christopher Columbus from the port of Palos de la Frontera in 1492. To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the voyage in 1992, a museum called the Wharf of the Caravels was built in this Andalusian town, complete with very accurate replicas of the three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. In this drone video by velogaev_art, you'll get an aerial view of the museum and its three sailing ships.
