I was on the Sagres in Boston about 40/41 years ago. I remember the sailors going to the Commodore Restaurant and being honored I think by the Portuguese Alliance Club in Cambridge. I just remember there was dinner, dancing and a lot of my family and my parents friends being there.
Does anyone remember that?

The Portuguese ship The Sagres is in Hawaii at pier 8, the Aloha Tower. A German built ship ( in the 1930's ), it is a replica of the Priscilla, the first ship to bring Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii in 1878. It looks strong and great ! It is open for viewing for visitors till July 3rd. I visited on board this morning to take pictures, and imagined our ancestors debarking in Honolulu when they arrived.
