| THE PERAL MOVED TO THE CARTAGENA NAVAL MUSEUM |
| 
| The Peral, a submarine launched in 1888, has been moved to the Cartagena Dockyard for consolidation and restoration. The Fundación Juanelo Turriano defrayed the cost of building the support platform for the permanent display at the Cartagena Naval Museum with late nineteenth century materials in store at the dockyard, and moving it and the submarine to their new location.
