MUNICIPALITY OF ALCÁCER DO SAL RESCUES SALT GALLEON AMENDOEIRA TO PREVENT SINKING

Rádio Miróbriga | Santiago do Cacém | A Rádio entre a Planície e o mar14 September 2026 at 12:58

The Municipality of Alcácer do Sal carried out a rescue operation for the salt galleon Amendoeira, removing the vessel from the waters of the Sado river.

The intervention aimed to prevent the galleon from sinking, as it was at risk of submerging. The municipality acted to preserve the vessel, which apparently had historical or cultural significance as a traditional salt ship from the region.

The operation was conducted by the municipal authorities of Alcácer do Sal, in the district of Setúbal, using the available resources to ensure the safety of the vessel.

Why this matters

This operation is relevant for the residents of Alcácer do Sal, as it preserves an element of historical heritage linked to salt production in the region. The municipal intervention comes as a result of the deterioration of the vessel in the waters of the Sado river, threatening its definitive loss.
