Before the breakwater and cruise liner terminal was built, ships just anchored in Funchal harbour.

Funchal was a very busy fishing harbour and today fresh fish is still landed in Funchal for the fish market.

The breakwater now complete and the new quay is certainly very busy.

This Flying boat appears to be older and attracting considerable interest…a picture from the 1930’s perhaps.
