Could be a Cristóbal Colón ship. (Santa Maria, Pinta or la Niña) It's quite logical in Sevilla where he now rest in peace.

You're right.
If you compare the too pictures...
The one with the correct name :

And the one at the rignt place :

… you can see that it's exactly the same. Thus this is the Magellan's ship "Nao Victoria".

Good job, mlc1us!
