With such maritime icons as Vasco de Gama and Bartolomeu Dias,
its no wonder that Portugal's Maritime Museum is one of the best in
Europe, evoking a sense of what it was like when the victorious
Portuguese dominated the high seas. Visitors can marvel at the
hundreds of models of 15th- to 19th-century sailing ships, merchant
marine vessels, fishing boats and pleasure boats as well as a full
range of Portuguese naval uniforms, including one worn at a
Mozambique military outpost in 1896.
