Ponte 25 de Abril (25 de Abril Bridge)

            3 September 1978, as seen from the viewing platform of the Santuário de Cristo Rei (Sanctuary of Christ the King statue), Almada, Portugal.

This 100 metre tall statue overlooks the mighty River Tagus, & Lisbon, on the other side of the river.
Inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, This is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

Little did I know then, that I would have a lifelong connection with the city, and the country. I have driven over the bridge on many occasions.

After an absence of 18 months, we returned for another major dry-docking at the Lisnave Shipyard. The previous occasion being on the 'Lampas'.
On this occasion, I was on the Shell VLCC tanker, 'Linga', 315,695 deadweight tons, which we joined in Rotterdam on the 10 July 1978.
We were at the Lisnave shipyard from 21 August to 9 September. Drydocking is always hectic, with huge engineering overhauls to complete. It is organised chaos, and time critical.
