Capitan Miranda

Embed this Topic
Capitan Miranda was launched in Spain in 1930 and began her career as a cargo vessel. She is named after the Uruguayan hydrographer Captain Francisco Miranda and was used as a hydrographic survey ship until 1978. She then underwent a major refit and re-dedication as a school ship. With her schooner rigging and clipper bow, she looks more like a private yacht than a sail training vessel.
