Exhibition ‘La Flota de Nueva España and the search for the Juncal’ in Seville

November 29, 2021
in Culture & Art, Leisure

 

This morning at 12 noon, the Minister of Culture and Sport, Miquel Iceta, together with the president of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), José Andrés Torres Mora, and the director of Cultural and Scientific Relations of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), Guzmán Palacios, will open the exhibition La Flota de Nueva España and the search for the Juncal, at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville.

 

On 1 November 1631, the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora del Juncal ended up shipwrecked in the Gulf of Mexico after a 16-day struggle for its own survival. Of its 300 crew members, only 39 made it back to shore alive, although luck played a major role in the fate of those on board. Almost four hundred years later, Spain and Mexico undertook a joint archaeological campaign in 2020 to continue to locate the remains of the ship, one of the two flagships of the New Spain Fleet. Its results, along with works and documents from the period, can be seen in this major exhibition at the Archivo General de Indias, the first of its kind, organised by both countries.
