Daniel Filipe Posted September 23, 2020 #1 Posted September 23, 2020 Hello all, i'm sorry if i'm posting on the wrong 'area'. Please move if needed. I just want to share with you a portuguese website about an amazing ship built in 1939 or 1940 i'm not sure. Many pictures from different angles. You may be interested.. Or not 😆 https://restosdecoleccao.blogspot.com/2015/05/nau-portugal.html (In a few weeks i will start the Polaris building log) Thanks, Daniel iMustBeCrazy, Archi, Louie da fly and 3 others 6 Quote
Louie da fly Posted September 23, 2020 #2 Posted September 23, 2020 AAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH! My heart skipped a beat as she keeled over. There's this horrible inevitability about it all. I'm so glad they raised her again. And what a beautiful ship. I'm just sorry I don't understand Portuguese. And in the final scene she is moored with the monument to Henry the Navigator in the background. Very appropriate. mtaylor and Daniel Filipe 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

For some reason, This ‘Nau’ reminded me of HMS Revenge, having almost the same size in reality.. anyways. They constructed the ship for an event that happened in 1940 in Lisbon. in the end, as you can see in the website, (the last picture) they transformed the beautiful ship in a barge. 😐 Well, that’s it 😄 mtaylor and Louie da fly 2 Quote

On the other hand, if they hadn't what would have happened to her during the war? Still a sad ending.

Louie da fly Posted September 25, 2020 #7 Posted September 25, 2020 Dunno. Portugal was neutral, though I doubt it was "business as usual". mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
