Ship Museum Santo André

The Santo André, a former fishing vessel of the Portuguese cod fleet, was put into service in 1948. Today, it serves as a museum ship at the Maritime Museum of Ílhavo. This ship, which was once a part of the bustling fishing industry, now stands as a testament to the maritime history of Portugal.

The museum ship provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing how cod fishing was conducted and honoring the memory of its crew who worked tirelessly for half a century. It's a unique opportunity to learn about the maritime history and the lives of those who were part of it.
