About the Book
The ‘TRAINEIRAS’, Trawlers, have been for centuries the main fishing boats off the Portugal’s coast. They were build of wood, locally, in a painstaking artisan process dating back from millennia, the very same that did the Caravels that once discovered the world.
Unlike them, they were painted in white, and bright colours every year, after the months of winter when the fishermen could no dare to go to face the rough Atlantic Ocean. That would not last long! The salt spray and even air would destroy these real works of Art, and create perhaps even more interesting ones, with the rust setting in.
