A Brief History of the Douro

The Rabelo's
The Barco Rabelo was a typical boat of the Douro River used to transport wine barrels. With a square sail, it was usually handled by six or seven men.

The Douro River
It was this River, once narrow and dangerous, that brought prosperity to the region, through which the precious nectar, Douro Port Wine, was transported.

Past Centuries
In centuries gone by, the river posed a challenge and a danger to those who navigated it. It was full of strong currents and half submerged rocks.

From Douro to Foz
Only the Rabelo could navigate these waters and transport the wine from the Douro Valley to the mouth, on whose banks the city of Porto is located.

A Galleon
Capable of carrying up to 100 barrels of wine, the Rabelo was instantly recognisable by its long, elegant steering oar.

"Now, sail with God"
With great precision on the river the master in the quadrant released the steering of the oar, took off his cap and then crossed his arms exclaiming: "Now, sail with God".
