The Port of Cork has welcomed the ship — which is a reconstruction of the ships that once served the Spanish Empire, crossed the Atlantic, and fought off pirates in the Caribbean.
According to the Port of Cork, it currently sails the world as a floating museum and sail training vessel, sharing centuries of seafaring history with the world.
The ship will be docked in Cork until Sunday, May 26, and will be open daily from Thursday onwards between 10am to 8pm.

The conference is taking place at City Hall and adjoining venues over three days from May 21 to 23.

TikTok star Kayleigh Trappe issues warning after being targeted by scam
Kayleigh Trappe has issued a warning to her fans after she was targeted by a scammer who was spreading rumours about her. The TikTok star and former Dancing with the Stars contestant found that a fake Facebook page was created in her name, which had gained over 15,000 followers. Taking to her (real) Instagram, Kayleigh said that the scammer was sharing fake updates about her life and career, and despite her saying that they're not really malicious, she's warning her followers that the page is not, in fact, her. Kayleigh Trappe has issued a warning to her fans after she was targeted by a scammer who was spreading rumours about her. Pic: Tom Honan 'I am putting this up again. I mentioned it before, but this is a fake page on Facebook. It has like 15,000 followers, but I'm pretty sure they're trying to scam people,' Kayleigh told her followers. 'A rake of you messaged me today telling me they're putting up, I don't know, bits and bobs, nothing harmful, but it's also not me.' Kayleigh added that two journalists had contacted her about a post that the fraudster made saying that she was changing careers, adding that she hadn't a clue what they were talking about. The TikToker appealed to her followers to report the poser, saying that she was contacted by journalists after the bogus page said she was changing careers. Pic: Instagram 'I don't want any of you to be scammed, but if you could do me a wee favour and go on and block them, that'd be great,' before joking 'you'd think people would have better things to be at.' Kayleigh boasts over 344,000 followers on her (actual) Instagram and recently participated in Dancing with the Stars, where she reached the final, eventually losing out to winner Rhys McCleneghan. Kayleigh was on holiday with fellow finalists Rhys and Jack Woolley, as well as her partner Tom and Jack's partner Dave when she suffered a fall while out for a run. Kayleigh was on holiday with her DWTS alum earlier this year, when she accidentally fell while on a run. Pic: Instagram/ Kayleigh Trappe Sharing a photo of her cut up knees on her story, Kayleigh joked that she 'tried to be one of those holiday runner wans but my legs ran away on me. Muchas gracias to wee Spanish Robert for helping me. Trés mortified.' Fortunately, the injuries haven't impacted the holiday too much as Dave later shared a selfie as the group appeared to be going on a hike, with Kayleigh poking fun at her style of TikToks when she shared a clip of herself and Jack singing karaoke, captioning the clip: 'When people ask why I lipsync.'
