The 100-foot Nao Trinidad replica was the flagship of Magellan’s expedition that led to the first circumnavigation of the earth, confirming for the first time that the world was round.

Converted into a floating museum filled with many exhibits to explore, this three-mast, six sail tall ship can be viewed Thursday through Sunday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.  

Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for youth (5-12 years old), with family packages available (two adults and three children) for $35. Children under 5 are free. Tickets are available at the Community Services Department located in the lobby level of the Ronald A. Irwin Civic Centre or at the Roberta Bondar Marina during regular hours.
