About Spanish ship Juan Sebastián Elcano

Juan Sebastián de Elcano is a training ship of the Spanish Navy. She is a steel-hulled, four-masted topsail barquentine. At 113 metres (371 ft) long, she is the third-largest tall ship in the world, and is the sailing vessel that has sailed the farthest, covering more than 2,000,000 nautical miles (3,700,000 km; 2,300,000 mi) in her lifetime. She is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastián Elcano, captain of Ferdinand Magellan's last exploratory fleet and the man who completed the first circumnavigation of the world. The ship carries the Elcano coat of arms, which was granted to the family by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who also was King Charles I of Spain, following Elcano's return in 1522 from Magellan's global expedition. The coat of arms is a globe with the motto "Primus Circumdedisti Me" ("First to circumnavigate me").
