The Story of the Amerigo Vespucci Model Ship
The ship Amerigo Vespucci is named after the explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It is a tall ship owned by the Marina Militare and is based in Livorno, Italy. The Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci was built in 1925 and is still used as a school ship today. The Italian Navy ordered two ships designed by Lieutenant Colonel Francesco Rotundi for training purposes. The design drew inspiration from the grand style of late 18th-century 74-cannon ships of the line.
The Royal Naval Shipyard in Naples built the Amerigo Vespucci in 1930. It launched on February 22, 1931, and started operating in July of the same year. This ship has three masts and is made of steel. It is 82.4 meters long, with a total length of 101 meters including the bowsprit, and a width of 15.5 meters.
The Amerigo Vespucci ship has a draft of 7 meters and weighs 4146 tons when fully loaded. Diesel-electric engines power it, and it can reach a top speed of 10 knots.
