Santa Maria Manuela

Go to bookings and prices The Sea Training Vessel “Santa Maria Manuela” is an historical vessel that was launched in 1937 in the river Tagus (Lisbon) and took part in the famous cod fishing campaigns until the beginning of the 1990's. The rebuilding of this four masted gaff schooner was a private initiative of the company Pascoal & Filhos, S.A., that, between 2007 and 2010, embraced a long and well documented process of reconstitution of the vessel which hull was almost abandoned in the port of Aveiro waiting for better days.


The Bark Europa will be joining in the Tall Ships Races 2012!

Check out the outlines of the trips the Santa Maria Manuela will be making:
Tall Ships Races 2012 - Race 1 Saint Malo (FR) - Lisbon (PT)
