Torpedero Sanjurjo

Last crawled date: 2 years, 6 months ago

From his father, Antonio Sanjurjo Badía inherited the surname, the passion for machines, a good eye for business and the nickname by which he was known in his town, Sada, a small town in the north of Galicia: “The Skills”. And skillful he was, of course. If he managed to succeed despite the cards that life had dealt him —he worked in the family watch shop at the age of nine and emigrated to Cuba at 17— it was precisely thanks to his skill and genius with mechanics;, was the mechanic for the Jules Verne yatch, and friend of Isaac Peral; the same skills that led him, now older, at 61, to embark on one of the most insane and brilliant projects in Spain at the end of the 19th century: to manufacture his own torpedo submarine.

So that? Very easy. To stand up to the US if it occurred to him to approach Galicia. - Torpedero Sanjurjo - Buy Royalty Free 3D model by stereoman (@stereoma)
