Spanish ship Salvador del Mundo (1787)

Salvador del Mundo was a 112-gun three-decker ship of the line built at Ferrol for the Spanish Navy in 1787 to plans by Romero Landa, one of the eight very large ships of the line of the Santa Ana class, also known as los Meregildos. Salvador del Mundo served during the French Revolutionary Wars until its capture at the Battle of Cape St Vincent by a Royal Navy fleet on 14 February 1797. Salvador del Mundo remained in British hands throughout the Napoleonic Wars, serving as a harbour ship, until it was sold and broken up in 1815.

Construction

The Santa Ana class was built for the Spanish fleet in the 1780s and 1790s as heavy ships of the line, the equivalent of Royal Navy first rate ships. The other ships of the class were the Santa Ana, Mexicano, San Hermenegildo, Conde de Regla, Real Carlos, Reina María Luisa and Príncipe de Asturias. Three of the class, including Salvador del Mundo, were captured or destroyed during the French Revolutionary Wars.

History

The monument was built on a pedestal originally used to decorate the tomb of Manuel Enrique Araujo, the President of El Salvador between 1911 and 1913., and presented by Araujo's family on November 26, 1942, in connection to the first National Eucharistic Congress in San Salvador. The iconic statue of Christ on the globe sphere of planet earth is part of the Monument to Divino Salvador del Mundo on Plaza El Salvador del Mundo (The Savior of the World Plaza).

Divino

Divino is a Puerto Rican reggaeton artist, whose real name is Daniel Velazquez.

Early career

Divino began his career at the age of fifteen, when his family moved from The Bronx, New York, to Ponce, Puerto Rico, Divino decided to concentrate his energies on his day job as an assistant in a juvenile institution.

Comeback

His brother, K2 Young, had made in-roads in the reggaetón genre as a member of DJ Playeros esteemed crew. He was well known for his close friendship with Baby Ranks, with whom he often performed. Divino decided that it was his brother's fate to conquer the genre and opted to live vicariously through him instead of joining him in that journey. His own musical aspirations faded to the background. In 1999, Divino's brother was killed, only one day after celebrating his 21st birthday. "I don't know if it was my rage or my anguish, but I decided to reenter the genre," Divino says of his comeback in 2000. Baby Ranks, who was also devastated by the loss, asked Divino to join him on a track he was recording for the production Darwins The Music II. Later, they joined forces again for the hit Quiero Esa Nena from DJ Nelsons The Flow: Sweet Dreams. Impressed by Divino's voice and his unique songwriting abilities, other artists began requesting that he appear on their records. Among them was Daddy Yankee who featured Divino in Dímelo on 2002's ElCangri.com and later, Wisin y Yandel, with whom he collaborated on Salgo Filotiao on the duo's De Otra Manera album. During recording his album he dedicated one of his best hits to a girl named Genesis Garcia .
