Anchored in 2007 in the waters of the River Ave, the replica of the 16th Century Ship, built by the Samuel & Filhos, Lda shipyard in Vila do Conde, is an important and valuable addition to the Royal Customs – Shipbuilding Museum. As well as being an important tourist and leisure attraction, it has an educational function because, built with the utmost respect for the scientific research carried out by Admiral Rogério d’Oliveira, it incorporates the ancestral knowledge of carpenters and caulkers of the Vila do Conde shipyards.
