Description:
The wheelhouse of 'Trafaria Praia', registration LX-3175-TL, a former ferry now converted to a floating museum, and used as a harbour tour vessel.
The wheelhouse is panelled with natural cork tiles, as is the rest of the ship interior, and the upper deck.
Her superstructure is now decorated with a unique tile design by a famous, contemporary Portuguese artist, while a surprising art exhibit is on display in the lower deck.
These artistic decorations where shown at a recent Venice biennal, where 'Trafaria Praia' was used as a floating pavillion, in representation of Portugal.
More information on these unique floating artworks are available from the artist's website:
