LISEQBQN, FURTUIG-EL Situated on the northern bank of the 'l'a,gus River, the city of Lisbon, with a population of 'lGSl,il'?El, has kngqrm, many a master - many a ClV1llE'l2.'tl.Gl,'l. .. in, its eventful and historical past. lt has been Siberian, Ligurian, Celtic, lfhoenecian, Carthaginian, Ronran. and others. Phoenicians were probably the first outsiders to settle in the hill district new ignore George. The strategic value of this site, combining an important harbor flanking la sea route from l'lOI lLl'll.fl. 6Sl,El'll Europe to the fti1cditerranca.11 and Africa, was quiclzly recognized by early settlers. ' 1 from Lisbon, capital city of Portugal, that Vasco da Game. sailed in the year 1-297, to open a sea route to lndia. From that time on this city proved to be an operating for Portuguese naviggatc-rs whose subsequent discoveries are a matter of history. On the morning of November 1, 17555, a disastrous earthquake, followed by fire and tidal Wave, upset and burned most of the city. . The colorful and picturesque harbor 'wil.l always be remembered by most of us for the pastel-hued sailing craft and bustling ferries busily engaged in their daily routine. Also We encountered our first difficulties with foreigncurrency the Escudo - worth approx-izimately 31241 cents .in US. currency. - 'The fleet was. given a royal welcome by the people of Lisbon. They lined the dock area and gave rise to many ,cheers as the ships tied up one by one. We missed the dock side exibition because of the fact that We tied up alongside the destroyer tender. During our stay, the entire fleet was entertained by ia bull fight staged especially for us. For many of us it was a sight never before beheld one to be never forgotten. We were surprised to learn that in Portugal it is not the policy to lrill the bull. lie is only tormented anduplayed with by the torriedore and his assistants. Also the bull is often fought from horse back. The entire spectacle was enjoyed by the sailors as was evidenced by the fact that they joined right in with the cries of Toro and Bravo . One of our crew members got so enthusiastic that he nearly lost his hat when he threw it in the bull ring. . . ' To say that Lisbon is interesting is not enough. It IS tascinatingg a city of beautiful parks and cathedrals. It is a city where the people welcomed us and made us their guests. It was a fine introduction to the NELM areaiand to say goodby was hard indeed. A 3 X.
