Full sized replica of first ship to sail around world arrives in Jersey

A replica of the first vessel to circumnavigate the world has docked in Jersey.

The Nao Victoria was on Portuguese-born navigator Ferdinand Magellan's expedition from Spain in 1519.

The voyage was tens of thousands of miles long and also dangerous - of the hundreds of crew who left for the voyage, only 18 made it back to Sevilla in 1522.

The ship is now in Albert Pier, so islanders have a chance to learn its story.

"Everything - all the manoeuvres and everything - we have here we do it by hand like they used to back in the time," says Brenda Parra, project manager.

"So it does give us a little bit of an experience of how they could probably be thinking when they were sailing."

The ship recreation will be berthed at Albert Pier until Sunday.
