  • constructed in 1918 and launched as the 3-masted schooner "Carmen Flores" in 1919; named for the daughter Carmen of the first owner Pascual Flores Benavente, (another ship was called the "Pascual Flores" after the second child of the owner) during a nearly 80 years active live she underwent various modifications and changes of name.
  • "Carmen Flores" 1919-1931, trading at the Mediterranean coast with wood, salt and grain,
  • two long trips to Cuba, first in 1921 to take salt from Alicante to Manzanillo and Santiago of Cuba, and return with grain to Barcelona. That trip was of great commercial success, since the obtained benefits covered the expenses of construction of the boat, the expenses of the trip, the wages of the crew, and some extra money even exceeded.
