Karakoa

Karakoa were large outrigger warships from the Philippines. They were used by native Filipinos, notably the Kapampangans and the Visayans, during seasonal sea raids. Karakoa were distinct from other traditional Philippine sailing vessels in that they were equipped with platforms for transporting warriors and for fighting at sea. During peacetime, they were also used as trading ships. Large karakoa, which could carry hundreds of rowers and warriors, were known as joangas (also spelled juangas) by the Spanish.

The karakoa was also used during the Battle of Mactan 500 years ago on April 27, 1521. The image of the karakoa is depicted on the PHP 5,000 commemorative bill along with Lapulapu, the first hero of the Philippines.

To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mactan, we show this Minecraft version of the Karakoa to you.
