In 2001 the Nereo Shipyard’s Department for the Preservation of Málaga’s Maritime Heritage proposed the idea of building the brig Galveztown. The project was conceived as a means of demonstrating the unique shipbuilding skills of Astilleros Nereo of Pedregalejo, Málaga.The reason for selecting to build a replica specifically of the brig Galveztown is driven by a desire to promote the culture of Málaga though one of the city’s most illustrious yet least known figures, even to most people in Málaga today: Don Bernardo de Gálvez, captain of the Galveztown. The story of his inspiring life deserves to be heard and preserved for future generations.
