Synopsis of Hombres de la mar, barcos de leyenda

Exhibition catalog 'Men of the Sea, Ships of Legend' that seeks to bring to the public the history of the sea, sailors and navigation through eleven emblematic ships, both real and fictional. The exhibition transports the viewer through more than thirty centuries of naval history, anecdotes, nautical instruments, archaeological pieces, ship models, famous paintings, objects of life on board, portraits of sailors, photographs and everything that encompasses history and nautical. From naval battles to modern ecology, it is articulated around ships such as the 'Argo', the Nao 'Victoria', the galley 'Marquesa', the 'Hispaniola', the 'San Juan Nepomuceno', the 'Bounty', the 'Pequod', the 'Numancia', the 'Nautilus', the 'Titanic' and the 'Bismarck'. All these exceptional ships have played a fundamental role in the relationship of man with the sea and of the sea with history, and are common places in our maritime memory.
