Amerigo Vespucci ship model
The Amerigo Vespucci is a
tall ship in the Italian Navy that serves as a training
ship and a symbol of national diplomacy. The ship is
named after the explorer and cartographer Amerigo
Vespucci. A life-size figurehead of Amerigo Vespucci adorns
the bow.
In the late
1920s, the Italian navy began construction of
Amerigo Vespucci ship for training their officer
cadets at sea. The
design chosen was that of a seventy-four-gun
frigate, though they carried double topgallants,
auxiliary power, and other modern devices.
Amerigo Vespucci is an unusual ship. The stern
gallery can only be reached from the captain's saloon.
The decor and luxurious fittings in the reception rooms
almost make you forget that you are on a sailing ship
used for naval training.
