Buque Museo Fragata A.R.A. Presidente Sarmiento (President Sarmiento Frigate Museum)
Buque Museo Fragata A.R.A. Presidente Sarmiento (President Sarmiento Frigate Museum) Review
The navy commissioned this frigate from England in 1898 to be used as an open-sea training vessel. The 280-foot boat used up to 33 sails and carried more than 300 crew members: the beautifully restored cabins afford a glimpse of what life onboard was like. Surprisingly luxurious officers' quarters include parquet floors, wood paneling, and leather armchairs; cadets had to make do with hammocks.
