These pages are devoted to
the Portuguese mercahnt fleet. Liners were built to serve their
colonies,and more recently there have been Portuguese-owned cruise
ships. The table below shows complete
career histories of individual ships.
The definitive book on Portuguese
liners is Paquetes Portugueses, by Luis Miguel Correia,
published by Edicoes Inapa. This is one of the most outstanding
books on liners ever published. The numbers preceding each ship
name on the pages below refer to the fleet list tables in this
book.
