The Story of Montanes
Montanes was one of the finest ships of the Spanish Navy, representing the pinnacle of Spanish shipbuilding in the late eighteenth century. The ship was launched in Ferrol on 14 May 1794 and was equipped with 76 cannons and 4 mortars.
Its special feature is that its bow ornament did not depict a royal lion, but a “montañes”, i.e. a mountain man – in gratitude to the mountain inhabitants who supported the ship’s construction. ️
Montanes was renowned for her extraordinary sailing abilities: whether she was sailing upwind or leeward, she kept an excellent course and always maintained her stability in the waves of the sea. The ship also fought in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and sank in a storm near Cádiz on 6 March 1810.
