Do you remenber this cruise ship? Maybe, only by the photo, you don't recognize. It's Costa Concordia going to west after left Funchal port in march 20 in 2011. The ship sank after colliding with rock near the harbor of Isola del Giglio in January 2012. In this picture you can see also the São Pedro church tower. I think this the only picture that I have with this perspective.

old paintings from old ships in a travel agency



    This paintings exist since many years in a travel agency named Ferraz. Those ships did regular trips from some countrys to another. And they came to Madeira island during the trip. But the airplanes change everything and the long regular lines stopped.
This travel agency continues to have a link to ships in supporting in passage through Funchal port. The principal company is Costa Cruises. I think it was since the time this company did regular trips with sips like Frederico C.

    Estas pinturas existem desde há muitos anos numa agência de viagens chamada Ferraz. Aqueles navios faziam viagens regulares desde alguns países para outros. E passavam pela Madeira durante essas viagens. Mas os aviões mudaram tudo e as longas linhas regulares pararam.
Esta agência de viagens continua a ter uma ligação aos navios dando apoio às escalas que fazem no Porto do Funchal. A principal é a Costa Cruises. Penso que vem desde o tempo em que fazia ligações regualres com navios como o Frederico C.

In and out

a Costa cruise ship going out

Costa Fortuna


























The Costa Fortuna, a Costa Cruises ship, in one of its stops in Funchal port. This view of the viewpoint of Cruzes, shows another side of a ship of a company (known by the C in the funnel) that comes to Funchal for decades.

O navio Costa Fortuna, da Costa Cruises, numa das suas escalas no porto do Funchal. Esta vista do miradouro das Cruzes, mostra uma perspectiva diferente de um navio de uma companhia (conhecida pelo C na chaminé) que vem ao Funchal há dezenas de anos.

The race

















Looks like a race between the cruise ships of the MSC Cruisess and Costa Cruises. But it is not. The two ships have just left the port of Funchal and is about to double the Garajau, a nature reserve on the island of Madeira.
