City Welcomes Portuguese Tall Ship Sagres to New Bedford Harbor

NEW BEDFORD — The City of New Bedford's official website announced this week that the Portuguese Navy's tall ship, the Sagres, is visiting New Bedford Harbor, a call city officials framed as a tribute to the city's Portuguese heritage.

TOWN HALL

The city's official website posted the announcement, headlined "New Bedford Welcomes Portuguese Tall Ship Sagres," under the mayor's office. New Bedford has one of the largest Portuguese-American communities in the country, and the city has hosted the three-masted training vessel on prior port calls as part of the ship's transatlantic training voyages for Portuguese naval cadets. The city's post did not include further scheduling details in the portion available to this report.
