Funchal, Madeira
View of Funchal harbor, taken by local photographer M.d.O. Perestrello
during the 1870s or 1880s.
Four British battleships are present, among them two of the three
"five masters" (Minotaur, Agincourt and
Northumberland). The ship at far right, partially hidden
by the land, appears to be HMS Monarch.
