17.5 kn sail Juan Sebastián de Elcano is a training ship of the Spanish Navy. She is a steel-hulled, four-masted topsail barquentine. At 113 m 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 nmi 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").

Design and construction

Juan Sebastián de Elcano was built in 1927 in Cádiz, Spain, and her hull was designed by the naval architect Mr C E Nicholson of Camper and Nicholsons Ltd of Southampton, England. She was constructed by Echevarrieta y Larrinaga shipyard in Cádiz. Her plans were used 25 years later to construct her sister ship, the Chilean Navy sail training vessel , in 1952–1954.

She conducted sea trials between April and July 1928 including a voyage from Cádiz to Málaga with King Alfonso XIII on board as a passenger. After she was commissioned in August 1928, she made her maiden voyage, calling at Sevilla, Las Palmas, Tenerife, San Sebastián, Cádiz, São Vicente, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Suva, San Francisco, Balboa, Havana, New York City, and Cádiz.

After the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in April 1931 the ship became part of the Spanish Republican Navy. In 1933 under Commander Salvador Moreno Fernández's order, a series of improvements were made to the ship and the bronze plate with the Latin language inscription Tu Primus Circumdedisti Me was placed near the prow. At the time of the coup of July 1936, Juan Sebastián de Elcano was in Ferrol, a harbor that had been taken by the Nationalist faction.
