The historic Dom Fernando II e Glória, Portugal’s last sailing warship, was launched by the Portuguese Navy in 1843. Now dry-docked just outside of Lisbon, this three-masted frigate, equipped with 50 cannons, has been meticulously restored to its original condition. As one of the best-preserved examples of a wooden-hulled frigate in the world, visitors can explore its intricate design and historical significance, offering a tangible connection to Portugal’s maritime past.
