Nau Portuguesa

The Nau Portuguesa is the heavy carrack that powers our eastern empire — a towering, multi-decked vessel built to survive the brutal storms of the Cape route and return with the spices and silks of the Indian Ocean trade. Bristling with cannon and capable of carrying hundreds of soldiers, these ships are floating fortresses that have opened the sea-lanes of the world to Portuguese commerce and power.
