For those that thought they missed out on the Galeon Andalucia visiting Cardiff, the mock-16th century merchant vessel will be staying for a few more days due to adverse weather. The ship is crewed in a large part by volunteers, so will need to wait for clearer seas before embarking on the next leg of their trip to Plymouth.

00:00The Galleon Andalusia has been docked in Cardiff since the end of last week and has already
00:07attracted thousands of visitors on board the vessel.
00:11It travels the world, sailing port to port to showcase the incredible craftsmanship on
00:16board and the history behind the boat.
00:20It's a replica of what a 16th century merchant ship would look like, with aspects from a
00:24number of famous ships from that time, with a museum on board in the lower decks, teaching
00:28people about what life would have been like for sailors on board all those centuries ago.
00:34Luckily for all those who missed out, the vessel was supposed to leave early on Monday
00:38at high tide, but with some weather issues has been forced to stay for a few more days.
00:45The Galleon will be open to the public until the end of the day on Tuesday, giving more
00:48people a chance to take a look at the fascinating history on board, but will hope to be getting
