This is a non-profit state foundation whose aims include working to recover maritime cultural heritage and promoting the Camino de Santiago by sea.
Is the owner of the steam museum ship, a former water tanker that was converted into a passenger ship, with a large multi-purpose activities. It is the only ship whose triple expansion steam engine is still in working order, dating back to 1907. It is listed in the Spanish register of historic ships.
The project consists of continuing the restoration work that the foundation is carrying out on the ship so that it can sail again. Volunteers will help with the overhaul of the engine, painting and varnishing, minor repairs, etc.
In addition to the tasks related to the ship, where they will be accommodated in bunks (the ship is moored in the centre of Vigo), the foundation offers social and sporting activities: on Wednesdays, they can sail in traditional boats on the Vigo estuary; bicycles are available; sailing trips on a schooner and soon they will also be able to go sailing in a batel (a traditional Galician rowing boat).
They are offered free accommodation and use of the kitchen (each volunteer will bring their own food). The boat is moored at the Portocultura quay, next to the Nautilus underwater observatory and other historic boats.
