N/T INFANTE DOM HENRIQUE at Lisbon 1975


In February 1974 the INFANTE DOM HENRIQUE was transferred to CTM - Companhia Portuguesa de Transportes Marítimos, SARL, Lisbon. Two of my earliest images taken in Lisbon in 1975: the INFANTE alongside the CCN terminal on 22 August, and her only departure as a troopship in May, leaving Lisbon for Lourenço Marques, Mozambique to embark returning Portuguese Army troops following the declaration of independence of the former East Africa colony.
