Last September, 5 intrepid travellers from the Friends of Newport Ship crossed the Bay of Biscay to visit our #Basque friends at Albaola Itsas Kultur Faktoria where they are building a full scale replica of their 16th century oak vessel, the San Juan.

This is the story of our visit, and the story of the San Juan – so closely linked to the Newport Medieval Ship. Our hosts @NewportLocalHistorySociety welcome all-comers
