A full-scale wooden replica of the Manila galleon AndalucĂ­a, based in Seville, Spain, is 170 feet long, 125 feet tall, with a 30-foot beam, and those size ships could carry 500 tons of cargo (big load in those days) and up to 400 people that included passengers, soldiers, sailors, gunners and crew, the ship shown here with replica Nao Victoria in the distance.
