The items to be auctioned are a shipwreck and its gold and silver coins, precious stones, gold art, silver tableware and other items on the shipwreck.
Now, let me introduce you to the wreck.
It is a 500-ton Spanish galleon, built in Bilbao in northern Spain, with a hull made of high-quality oak from the Bilbao region, built in the first half of the 17th century.
In the colonial era, as a common size, it lasted until the end of the galleon era in the mid-17th century.
The main features of this type of boat are the high chord, low foredeck, flat stern, and a 4:1 ratio of length to width.
This hull layout has many advantages, such as the high bow and stern decks, which allow two ships to board enemy ships lightly when two ships get stuck in a war.
The ratio of length to width of 4:1 gave the Spanish galleon an advantage over other contemporaries in terms of speed
In addition, such ships had a bulky hull and carrying capacity, and were generally armed with heavy weapons.
The famous fleet of Spanish treasures is made up of these ships.
Speaking of which, Ross. Witton paused, then continued, "This ship is one of the most legendary sailing ships in history.
It is well known that the immense wealth of gold and silver from Peru and Mexico, as well as jadeite and pearls from South America, was the key to Spain's supremacy. And it was these galleons that ensured that this wealth could be safely transported back to Spain.
For more than a century, Spanish galleons controlled the seas of the two continents, Europe and the United States, and this is their legend. ”
Ross. Witton briefed the guests about the Spanish galleon.
Everyone in the audience applauded.
The Spanish galleon is indeed one of the most legendary sailing ships in history.
The Spanish Armada formed by Spanish galleons, treasure ships, the golden fleet, they are legends at sea.
Ross. Witton continued, "The 'Lucky Star', due to the current and changes in the marine environment, was buried in the seabed silt, and was isolated from the air and seawater for a long time, and corroded. So it is very well preserved, such as the hull, artillery, weapons, decorations in the cabin, cutlery. There are also mundane objects of colonial daily life, such as parrot feathers found on ships, which illustrate the value of the talking, colorful parrot.
There are also ceramic bottles containing olives and other foods.
The ship is of great archaeological and artistic value.
