A tall ship will visit West Cumbria this summer.
The Nao Santa Santa Maria is a replica of the ship that Christopher Columbus sailed to the Americas in 1492.
It will arrive in Whitehaven on July 31 and depart on August 10.
Built in around 2018 by Spanish shipwrights using traditional 15th century methods, the ship is a floating museum managed by the Fundacion Nao Victora.
The visit to Whitehaven has been made possible by Whitehaven Town Council, Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners, Sellafield Ltd, Amentum, Jennings, Delkia and Cavendish Nuclear.
