Anticipating the Arrival of the Nao Santa Maria at St Katharine Docks

Exciting news for maritime enthusiasts and history buffs alike! The replica ship, Nao Santa Maria, is expected to dock at St Katharine Docks later today. As we await its arrival—subject to tidal conditions, of course—many of us are curious about its current location and journey.

Unfortunately, tracking the Nao Santa Maria has proven challenging. I’ve tried searching for its details on various ship tracking platforms such as Shipfinder using its MMSI number (225988673) and its callsign (EAFZ), but to no avail. It seems that information about this majestic vessel is somewhat elusive at the moment.

Additionally, St Katharine Docks doesn’t appear to be listed on the Port of London Authority’s ship movements page, which further complicates the matter. If anyone has updates on the ship’s whereabouts or its estimated departure times, please share! I understand that the times could fluctuate based on weather conditions, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.

It’s rumored that the ship may navigate through Tower Bridge twice today, around 2:30 PM and 3 PM, before reaching its final destination at St Katharine Docks. It would be great to catch a glimpse of it passing Greenwich earlier in the day, especially if it’s sailing under motor power rather than sails.

In the meantime, I plan to check social media for any photos or updates from fellow enthusiasts as the ship departs Gravesend and makes its way upriver to London. If you have any information to share, or if you’re tracking the journey as well, please leave a comment below!

Thank you for joining me in this maritime adventure.

  1. Re: Tracking the Nao Santa Maria – Exciting Times for Maritime Enthusiasts

    As a longtime resident of London with a keen interest in our city’s maritime history, I share your excitement about the Nao Santa Maria’s approach. While tracking can sometimes be tricky for ships on replica or private voyages, there are a few additional avenues that might offer insight:

    • Local maritime communities and forums: Engaging with groups such as the London Maritime Network on social media or specialized forums can sometimes yield real-time updates or sightings from fellow enthusiasts.
    • St Katharine Docks and Tower Bridge monitoring: Given the expected passages, it might be worth checking live CCTV feeds or contacting the dock authorities, who often have scheduled info on arriving vessels.
    • Historical navigation patterns: Considering the ship’s expected route, observing tidal and weather conditions around the Thames may help predict its movements more accurately.

    Also, it’s fascinating to consider how vessels like the Nao Santa Maria contribute to London’s vibrant maritime culture, especially during events or parades along the river. If anyone spots the ship passing by or has additional tracking info, sharing photos and timestamps would be a fantastic way to enrich our collective experience!

    Looking forward to hearing more about its journey and, of course, catching a glimpse of this beautiful
