    Προεπιλογή Funchal

    Dear Friends,

    I will be posting as a tribute, some postcards from the graceful N/M " Funchal" sincer her first times, when she was launched as a pure cargo / passenger liner that would connect the Portuguese archipelagos of Madeira / Azores with Lisbon.

    Her history:

    Funchal was built in 1961 for the Portuguese line Empresa Insulana de Navegacao Lisboa, and was used on the Lisbon-Azores-Madeira route.

    She was originally named from the city of Funchal, capital of Madeira, and till nowadays she carries on her bow the crest/coat of arms from Funchal city.

    She was used as a reefer cargo/pax ship mainly to export bananas, fish from Madeira and pineapple and Azores respectively to the Portuguese mainland.

    She was reconditioned as a fulltime cruise ship in 1973, when her steam turbines were replaced by diesels.

    In 1974 Funchal was transferred, along with other surviving Portuguese passenger liners, to CTM (Companhia Portuguesa de Transportes Maritimos).

    Her exterior profile has changed little, with only a small extra deck added over the stern, and large tenders now carried in front of the bridge (since removed).

    Funchal is 9846grt in size, 501 ft long and carries 402 passengers.

    She is currently owned by Arcalia Shipping, Panama, and has been marketed as International Cruises and Classic International Cruises a company whose owner Patomianos family.
