Ponta da Cruz quay

Original title: Cais da Ponta da Cruz

The Ponta da Cruz quay, with an older part and a modern part built around 1910 by the local cannery owners.

Map: Madeira (2)

It has an old part which is, we believe, the work of the Public Works Department (Direção das Obras Públicas), and a modern part built around 1910 on the orders of the owners of the cannery at Ponta da Cruz (‘point of the cross’).

Chronology
  • The cannery owners built the modern part of the Ponta da Cruz quay.
