History of the San Felipe Ship
The Known Ship under several names such as "San Felipe", "El Real" or "Real Felipe", is named after Felipe V of Spain, the first king of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain.

This ship , built in 1716 in the shipyards of San Feliú de Gixols, is a first-class warship with three decks. Its design includes a robust construction with double internal and external planking, providing great strength to the hull.

The scale of its construction, using more than 4,000 trees, has contributed to deforestation in Spain according to some historians.

With 108 cannons and impressive dimensions of 67 meters long, 16.5 meters wide and 12 meters draft, the San Felipe, decorated with majestic sculptures, was a formidable opponent capable to compete with any enemy of the time.

His service began during the Sardinia campaign in October 1717 under the command of squadron leader D. Esteban Mari Centurione. Subsequently, he participated in the Sicilian campaign in 1718 under the leadership of Captain D. Pedro Despoix and squadron leader D. Antonio Gaztañeta e Iturribalzaga.

After accomplishing his mission, the San Felipe was transported to Syracuse and then sent to Mahón, which was under British control. However, negligence led to a fire and explosion, completely destroying the San Felipe.
