The Perpetual Charm of The Old Guard: Italy’s Oldest Naval Ship Embarks on a World Tour!

Updated: Oct 31, 2023

The Amerigo Vespucci is a tall-ship (a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel), used as a training ship by the Italian Navy. As the name suggests, the tall-ship is named after the Italian explorer of the same name.

Amerigo Vespucci training ship

Amerigo Vespucci (the vessel) entered service on 22nd February 1931. Vespucci (the explorer), was part of two expeditions during the Age of Discovery, a period when explorers embarked on naval voyages towards the Americas and the New World. To honor Vespucci’s contributions in discovering the New World, the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, derived the word “America” from the Latinized derivation of the name Amerigo.

Amerigo Vespucci the explorer

The Amerigo Vespucci (the ship) is the oldest vessel of the Italian Navy at 92 years old and is considered one of the most beautiful ships of its kind. On July 1st, it embarked on a World Tour, a voyage reflective of the man it was named after. This World Tour seeks to combine the traditional training activities of officer cadets as well as promote the “Made in Italy” mission to the countries that the tall-ship will visit in her campaign. The celebratory departure of the Amerigo Vespucci from Genoa port was attended by the Italian Minister of Defence Guido Crosetto, Chief of Italian Navy Admiral Enrico Credendino, Liguria’s Region President Giovanni Toti and the Major of Genoa Marco Bucci. The Vespucci will share Italian national values and culture and showcase Italian excellence in manufacturing to the world, supporting the importance of maritime missions for global development.
