It was built in England and the officers were all Americans (southerners) but the majority of the crew were Portuguese, British & others but I believe the Portuguese from the Azores where it was outfitted were the largest group.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-38315064595326629372009-11-01T15:48:52.059-06:002009-11-01T15:48:52.059-06:00really? may i ask you wich ship was that?really? may i ask you wich ship was that?Manuel Marques Pinto de Rezendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265528253922767869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-14676304137247100592009-06-10T20:27:32.751-05:002009-06-10T20:27:32.751-05:00And I certainly join you in that.

Yes, Madeira did get left out, not because I forgot it; if nothing else I will remember Madeira as the final resting place of the great Blessed Emperor Charles of Austria. However, I had to resist the urge to list all Portuguese holdings for lack of space. The Azores probably also stand out to me since one of my favorite American fighting ships of all time had a crew largely made up of Portuguese sailors from the Azores.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-9391304181467142842009-06-10T18:46:37.333-05:002009-06-10T18:46:37.333-05:00Thank you so much.
