San Salvador (Cabrillo's ship)

San Salvador was the flagship of explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (João Rodrigues Cabrilho in Portuguese). She was a 100-foot (30 m) full-rigged galleon with 10-foot (3.0 m) draft and capacity of 200 tons. She carried officers, crew, slaves, and a priest.

Explorations

In 1542 Cabrillo was the first European to explore the coast of present-day California. He had three ships: the 200-ton galleon San Salvador, the 100-ton La Victoria, and lateen-rigged, 26-oared San Miguel. The two ships were not the square-rigged galleons commonly used for crossing open ocean. Rather, they were built in Acajutla, El Salvador, and the ship San Salvador, was named after Pedro de Alvarado's newly founded city in western El Salvador, San Salvador, the ship San Miguel was named after the second newly founded city in eastern San Miguel, El Salvador, and the ship Victoria was named after the Victory of Pedro de Alvarado against the long and arduous battle against the Native American resistance in El Salvador. In 1540 the fleet sailed from Acajutla, El Salvador, and reached Navidad, Mexico on Christmas Day. While in Mexico, Pedro de Alvarado went to the assistance of the town of Nochistlán, which was under siege by hostile natives, and was killed when his horse fell on him, crushing his chest. Following Alvarado's death, the viceroy took possession of Alvarado's fleet. Part of the fleet was sent off to the Philippine Islands under Ruy Lopez de Villalobos and two of the ships were sent north under the command of Cabrillo. Navidad is some 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Manzanillo, Colima. A requirement of exploration ships was the ability to sail with ease into small harbors. The ships were rigged with triangular sails supported by swept booms. This sail arrangement, a forerunner to the sails found in the modern-day fore-and-aft rig of sloops, ketches and yawls, made the craft more agile and gave them the ability to point higher into the wind than square riggers.

Let me take you to a place I know, where everything is fine
If you get there, even for a night, those troubles off your mind
I have been there many times before for I remember
Everyone's going to San Salvador, aha
No cares about what day it is or even bide the time
You can wander down the dusty ways, in foolish day or night
You can act as a star and smile, and don't you say
You're falling in love with your San Salvador, aha
Ooohooo
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
See the strings of lights surround this place and down to the cafe
And Annie's question, you can guess, Las Vegas in every way
You catch a smell of magic night because you toured it
Finding it, finding you, San Salvador, aha
Running down the steps, to find a friend, buy ribbons for your hair
A new caress in the pale light, will she dance to love one day?
From far away you can hear them say another day
A magical evening in San Salvador, aha
Ooohooo
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
San Salvador, hear the voices ringing, people singing
San Salvador, now the festival is just beginning
San Salvador, come and join us in the crowded streets
San Salvador, feel the happiness excite you
