Built in Cadiz, Spain, in 1930 the 'Capitán Miranda' was original used to ship freight around South America in the 1930s. In the 1960s she entered service for the Uruguayan Navy as a hydrographic survey vessel. In 1978 she was restored back to a sailing ship again, and fitted with a modern schooner rig that was developed in the 1920s for racing yachts and is now a sail training ship for the Uruguayan Navy. The ship is named after after the Uruguayan hydrographer Captain Francisco Miranda (1868-1925) who served Uruguay as a cabinet officer, war secretary and later professor of marine geography at the Naval Academy of Uruguay.
