Photos: Juan Sebastián de Elcano Departs Pensacola
June 10, 2009
After an estimated 13,000 people toured the Spanish tall ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano, she headed out of the Port of Pensacola late Tuesday afternoon. Many NorthEscambia area residents were among those that toured the ship during its week stay in Pensacola.
The Elcano and its crew of 300 sailors were in Pensacola for the 450th anniversary celebration of the city as well as the 60th anniversary of the Fiesta of Five Flags.
