ARC Gloria is a three-masted barque. She is a training ship and official flagship
of the Colombian Navy.
The Colombian Government authorized its navy to acquire a training ship
in 1966. A contract was signed with the Spanish shipyard Celaya of Bilbao in
October 1966, and began to be fulfilled in April 1967. The ship was
commissioned on 7 September 1968 with the vessel moored at the wharf of Deusto
Channel.
The ship's name is a reference to the national anthem, Oh Gloria Inmarcesible (O Unfading Glory).
She is seen alongside The Port of Leith on the 28th August
2015.
