The schooner with a past as rich as the sea

Schooner Santa Eulàlia, a historic vessel characterizing Mediterranean Occidental navigation and representative of cabotage, was launched in 1919 at Torrevella (Alicant), Spain. Originally named Carmen Flores (now Santa Eulàlia), it was previously owned by Pascual Flores Benavent, who ordered its construction in 1918. Involved in transporting cereals, wood, salt, and minerals, it sailed between 1919 and 1927, crisscrossing the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean twice, with a destination in Cuba.

In 1975, the ship underwent a significant modernization and was renamed Sayremar Uno, before being acquired by Barcelona's Maritime Museum in 1997 for restoration, reconstruction, and operationalization. Today, the Schooner Santa Eulàlia is docked at Barcelona's Old Port, serving as a flagship of Barcelona's Maritime Museum and used for educational and civic activities related to the sea. It was officially declared a Cultural Property of National Interest (BCIN) by the Government of the Generalitat de Catalonia on June 28, 2011.
