Foi num dia em que estive a bordo do paquete para uma cerimónia que tinha a ver com os 175 anos da companhia. E igualmente tiunha a ver com uma exposição que o Clube de Entusiastas de Navios da Madeira havia realizado em homenagem precisamente à efeméride, que procurou relevar a ligação histórica da Cunard com a Madeira. Há 95 anos que a companhia traz os seus navios regularmente ao Funchal traduzindo na vinda de milhares de turistas.
No entanto, só recentemente fui ver o trabalho acabado no porto. Nunca havia publicado a primeira fotografia porque entendia estar incompleta ao não mostrar o que haviam pintado então.
Last December photographed cruise ship crew members Cunard's Queen Victoria. Kindly agreed to do that so when proceeded to a painting in Funchal.
It was a day that I was on board the steamer for a ceremony that had to do with the 175th anniversary of the company. And also tiunha to do with an exhibition that Wood Ship Enthusiasts Club was held in honor precisely the ephemeris, which sought to reveal the historical connection of Cunard with Madeira. 95 years ago the company brings its ships regularly to Funchal translating the arrival of thousands of tourists.
However, only recently I went to see the finished work in the port. I never had published the first photograph because he understood to be incomplete by failing to show what they had then painted.30
