Barco Mercantel or Saleiro / Saleira or Salineiro

Currently, tour operators in the city of Aveiro own this type of vessel. They are mainly used for tourist trips in the estuary and currently have a higher side, raised by falcas.

As for the shipbuilding art of this typical boat from the ria, it is still preserved in the Monte Branco shipyard, in Murtosa.

Contemplate the Merchant Boat on the Urban Canals of the City of Aveiro.
