Maritime Torrevieja and the salt trade<\/strong><\/p>

Since long ago, Torrevieja has been a favourable location for the exploitation of the salt generated in its surrounding lagoons, prompting the Administration of the Royal Saltworks, located in the nearby village of La Mata, to be moved to the city in 1803. From that time on, various activities have taken place, most notably the maritime trade of salt bound for various ports in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.<\/p>

In the first half of the twentieth century, the sailing fleet of Torrevieja was the most important in the Mediterranean. The city had a population of about 6,000 inhabitants and some 200 registered ships, 64 of which were pailebotes<\/em>.<\/p>

The name pailebote<\/em> in Spanish came from the English \u201cpilot’s boat\u201d, but it could also be known as a goleta<\/em> (from the French go\u00e9lette<\/em> and from the Breton gouelan<\/em>, which means seagull), since both definitions were valid for this same type of ship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The decade between 1915 and 1925 saw years of significant activity for the sailing trade fleet of Torrevieja, gradually declining in later decades. Even so, in the 1940s, there were still numerous local vessels engaged in cabotage trade journeys, with Torrevieja being considered the last sailing refuge in the Spanish Mediterranean.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The pailebote \u201cPascual Flores\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

Many of the large ships built at the time were made by Torrevieja shipwrights such as Antonio Mar\u00ed, known as \u201cthe storm\u201d, builders of the famous pailebote<\/em> \u201cPascual Flores\u201d in 1917, among other ships.<\/p>

In its early years, the pailebote<\/em> was dedicated to the export of fruit, salt and general cargo, both in Mediterranean ports and anchorages and on the North and West coasts of Africa. Over the years, the vessel changed ownership and underwent significant modifications to its structure, ending her days in England.<\/p>

In order to honour the memory of this thriving seamanship, the Torrevieja City Council purchased the \u201cPascual Flores\u201d, which was in very poor condition in the port of Milford Haven, in 1999. The goal was to convert it into a symbol of Torrevieja’s seafaring character and the flagship of the city.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Between 2005 and 2008, comprehensive restoration work was performed on the pailebote<\/em>, captained by master shipwright Antonio Carrasco.<\/p>

After several years of inactivity and a certain amount of deterioration, the Torrevieja City Council and the Nao Victoria Foundation signed a collaboration agreement on 30 October 2020 for the transfer, repair and fine-tuning of the pailebote<\/em>.<\/p>

After six months of work in the shipyards of Punta Umbr\u00eda (Huelva), the vessel is once again ready to sail and make stops in ports around the world to promote Torrevieja and its cabotage seafaring tradition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The pailebote<\/em> \u201cPascual Flores\u201d is an original ship, quite unlike those that sail our waters today. Thanks to the agreement signed between the Torrevieja City Council and the Nao Victoria Foundation, the vessel will stop in ports around the world and appear at Europe\u2019s major maritime festivals.<\/p>

Throughout this year, the pailebote<\/em> will begin a tour of both Spanish and foreign waters to promote Torrevieja tourism and culture and to share the history of pailebotes<\/em> as transporters of salt. This floating museum, in addition to its scheduled tours, will visit the port of Torrevieja annually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
