Damn. I took this photo last week at Hong Kong's Star Ferry Terminal, when Jeroen and I went to catch a ferry to Central. I was wondering if it was a ghost ship, but people were roaming inside, with lots of kids.
Jeroen and wished our boys could see it, as they are obsessed with pirates.

Tomorrow, this very same ship will dock at Pier 13, South Harbor, Manila, next to Manila Hotel.
The Galeon Andalucia is a replica of the 17th century Galleon. The 51-meter-long traveling museum created by Spain’s Nao Victoria Foundation makes use of ancient seafaring techniques with very minimal modern technology and virtually no fuel at its disposal.
