The ports designated
in the map, were the more important ports of whale hunting in the three islands
of the Triangle. Other ports existed for beyond these, but of minor importance.
The visit
that we propose to make to each of these ports will stop in each of them of way
it permit to the users visit vestiges just as well presents from the whale
hunting. Such presents of whale hunting can be: whaler boats houses, motor
boats, whaller boats, tray-works and museums in Cais do Pico and Lajes do
Pico.
Each one
of these trips will have as start point the Porto da Horta, in the island of
Faial.
For such,
it will be there to the disposal of the interested people, a whaling
motor boat “Maria Manuela”. These tourist strolls intend to remake the old “jettisons” that the whalers made
in the exercise of its activity. Obviously today without the capture and death
of the animal, but yes and always possible with the observation of cetaceous
and dolphins.
