"Journey of the King and Queen of Spain to Galicia: Exploring the Enchanting Ferrol" Embarking on a regal expedition, the King and Queen of Spain set foot in Galicia, their eyes filled with anticipation. As they arrived at Ferrol, a picturesque coastal town, they were greeted by its magnificent harbours - a sight that left them in awe. The engravings captured this beauty perfectly, showcasing the grandeur of Corunna and Betanzos. Intrigued by the local culture, the royal couple attended a club dinner in Ferrol. A group photo immortalized this momentous occasion as men from all walks of life gathered together to celebrate friendship and camaraderie. Passing through the gate to the shipyard at Arsenal, Ferrol revealed itself as a hub of maritime excellence. Four men stood on a balcony overlooking this bustling scene - witnessing innovation unfold before their very eyes. The Sala de Armas within Arsenal's building showcased centuries-old craftsmanship that had stood the test of time. From above, an aerial view allowed them to grasp the magnitude of Arsenal's significance in shaping naval history. It was here that HMS Howe met an unfortunate fate when it ran aground at Ferrol's shores. Engravings depicted these dramatic events while black-and-white photographs portrayed her stranded state. The aftermath led to Vice-Admiral Henry Fairfax facing trial by court-martial back home in Devonport for his role in HMS Howe's stranding. These engravings captured both moments of justice being served and intense scrutiny faced by those responsible. As their journey came to an end, memories etched forevermore; Ferrol had offered its charm generously to these esteemed visitors from afar.
