Description
The Frigate D. Fernando II e Glória was launched in 1843 and was the last ship in the Portuguese Navy to sail exclusively under sail and the last ship of the "Carreira da Índia". Over the course of 33 years, he traveled more than 100,000 nautical miles, the equivalent of five times around the world. It made its last voyage in 1878, when it took over as the Naval Gunnery School until 1938. In 1963, the Frigate was damaged by a major fire, which left it almost submerged in the Tagus River until 1992. At that time, restoration work began and it was opened to the public as a museum at EXPO 98. Climb aboard, take a journey through history and feel like a true sailor, fearlessly braving the sea.
