Euskadi and Canada will set up a commission to prepare for the San Juan ship's trip to the Labrador peninsula
The replica of the Basque whaler sunk in Red Bay in 1565 will make a "wonderful crossing" to Canada, in the words of Phillip Earle, MP for Labrador.
The institutional trip of the Government of Gipuzkoa to Canada ended its journey on Monday with the commitment of the Government of Canada to set up a commission to design the expedition of the replica of the ship San Juan to Labrador in the near future, in collaboration with the institutions of the Basque Country and the Albaola shipyard in Pasaia.
Phillip Earle, a member of parliament from Labrador, said so on the last day of the trip, following a meeting with the General Member of Parliament of Gipuzkoa, Eider Mendoza, and the President of Albaola, Xabier Agote. All of us here have the same objective: that the last voyage of the ship San Juan be a wonderful voyage, and we will work closely to achieve it.
On the other hand, Mendoza has stressed that Red Bay has not only preserved and restored our history, but has also kept alive values such as entrepreneurship, solidarity, courage, equality and the pursuit of our country's development beyond borders.
For his part, Agote has pointed out that this initiative is "perfect", that all parties have joined the project and that many have expressed interest in participating in it.
