Enter and immerse yourself in The Frigate D. Fernando II and Gloria ship that was launched in the sea in 1843, being the last ship of the Portuguese Navy.
Step back in time to when this was the last ship of the “Carreira da India” (the maritime connection between Lisbon and Goa, India). Admire its journeys of over 33 years, travelling more than 100,000 nautical miles, the equivalent of five rounds around the world.
Learn about the name being a tribute to the Queen of Portugal, D. Maria II, and her husband, D. Fernando II. Plus, that in 1963, the history of the Frigate was marked by a great fire, which left her almost submerged in the Tagus River until 1992. At that time, it began a huge restoration work, which ended in the opening to the public as a museum at EXPO 98. Built entirely of wood, it is a unique example in the world. Climb aboard, take a trip through history and feel like a true sailor, facing the sea fearlessly.
