Barkentine Gazela Primeiro was built in Setubal, Portugal in 1883 and sailed from Portugal as a Grand Banks fishing vessel until 1969 when she was sold and moved to Philadelphia. She has been a museum ship and an operating sail training vessel. Here she is representing Philadephia in the Halifax Tall Ships Challenge Parade in 2004.
