because nobody knew about the basque relationship with the sea. a dream of my life was coming true, which is a 16th century basque whaling galeon. my hope is through this project, the basque people will know more about our maritime history. they will be proud of their ancestors. we decided to build this ship, i mean, nobody asked us. this used to be the center of the world for boat building. bad times for the spanish navy was good times for the basque, because if a lot of ships are sinking, that means more work here. the basque were the first whalers, industrial whalers. there was a time in which the basque were the only people hunting whales industrially. how many guys? in a classic role, seven people. seven people. a guy out in front. the strongest guy with the harpoon? that s right. lots of rope?
