Five hundred years of development of naval architecture. The vessel on the left is a (presumably full size) replica of the Santa María de la Inmaculada Concepción which was the largest (!) of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic in 1492. It does half-day trips along the south coast

The upper part is a copy of this image which is linked to from this page about RMS Titanic. It has been scaled to match the Independence in size. Bear in mind that the red bits of the Titanic represent its 10.5 metre, below the water line draught. With a draught of only 8.8 metres and that towering superstructure the Independence seems awfully top-heavy.

In 2016 August there was an extensive wildfire here. Six weeks later Frank Ardley took this view from the telephérico. The hillside is totally bare. On the left we can see things like fridges scattered on the ground. Follow the maps link and look at Google StreetView to see the lush vegetation that was there before.

Igreja da Nossa Senhora da Graça in Rua Cónego Agostinho Figueira de Faria. I looked up this good canon. Google's translation of an article about him says: "by resolution buddy of 18 May 1995 the City Council Chamber of the Wolves gave their name to the street between the apricot and Largo's skate".

Cabo Girão
One evening we heard ecclesiastical music being broadcast over loudspeakers and we saw candles moving through the woods recalling the Ave Maria sequence in Disney's Fantasia. Roger followed the sound and it led him to the summit of the Cabo Girão promontory where stands the Capela de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (babel fish version). It was crowded with people taking part in a Peregrinação ao Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (babel fish on the pilgrimage and local copy).
