THE DOM FERNANDO II E GLORIA, LAST PORTUGUESE SAILING WARSHIP

The DOM FERNANDO II E GLORIA DURING THE 1998 WORLD EXHIBITION IN LISBON
 The ship where she is today as a permanent museum



The last portuguese sailing warship was built in 1843, she was nearly destroyed by fire in 1963 and was beached on the river Tagus for 27 years, close to where she is now, she was restored in 1990 and is now a permanent museum ship, well worth the visit, she can be found at Cacilhas, just across Lisbon
