EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration portrays a pivotal moment in maritime history: the interception and capture of the Portuguese ship Madre de Deus by Captain Fernão de Mendonca Furtado in the late 16th century. The Madre de Deus, built in the renowned Lisbon shipyards in 1589, was a significant vessel of its time. The image depicts the Portuguese galleon, adorned with intricate carvings and sails billowing in the wind, being approached by the Dutch warship under the command of Captain Mendonca Furtado. The Portuguese ship, laden with valuable cargo, was a prime target for Dutch pirates seeking to expand their territories and wealth. The year is circa 1922, and this illustration serves as a testament to the rich history of seafaring and exploration. The Madre de Deus, a symbol of Portuguese maritime power, was not immune to the challenges of the high seas. The moment of interception and capture is a reminder of the strategic battles and tensions between European powers during this era. Captain Mendonca Furtado, a skilled and determined naval commander, successfully seized the Madre de Deus, adding another victory to the Dutch fleet. The image captures the drama and excitement of this historical event, offering a glimpse into the past and the complexities of the maritime world during the Age of Discovery.
