About This Item

P1010633

This TB will start it's jorney in Porto, and the first travel is around the world to New Zealand. Its goal is to return to the beautiful city of Porto, in Portugal.

The Barco Rabelo (Rabelo Boat) is a traditional Portuguese cargo boat that for centuries was used to transport people and goods, along the Douro River.

Native from the Douro region, it does not exist in any other place of the world. Its history is closely linked to the production and trade of Port wine. Before the arrival of the railway, the rabelo was the fastest and the most efficient means of transport between the Douro Valley, where port wine is produced, and the city of Porto, where it was traded and exported world wide.

Although not in use anymore, still today we can admire these graceful vessels belonging to the Port Wine Companies in the banks of the Douro river, in the cities of Porto and Gaia.
