- Fragata D. Fernando II e Gloria
This is an old east India trading company ship which provides an interesting insight into the history of life at sea. Good value for money and informative with information in several languages
It is not the original ship as that was burnt down. Re build is well done. Gives good flavour of life of the explorers. Low entry cost. Ferry from end of green metro line to Cacilhas.
The ship could be overlooked when coming to visit The main attraction in Almada but I think it is worth looking for. The ship has been restored to a very high standard and we very much enjoyed reading about the history.
It reminds me the movie of Caribbean pirates. I had fun visitig it. Introduction of sailing life in portugal
To visit that vessel is amazing. You can imagine you are sailing to India, because it's the last vessel to do this way. It's very well preserved and worths a visit.
