MARVILA CROSSING THE RIVER TAGUS



The classic Lisbon ferry MARVILA photographed yesterday 13 August 2009 underway on another crossing of the rive Tagus between Belém and Trafaria via Porto Brandão. Built in 1956 for HADAG as the VOLKSDORF and renamed MARVILA in 1977 the old girl keeps a special beauty and looks like a classic Volkswagen of the 1950s... Long may she sail.
