Was a small boat used in hidrographic operations in and out of the Portuguese harbours entrances.
Normaly she was based in Viana harbour astricted to the 1st. Hidrographic Brigade but when is necessary she went out to other harbours included on this service.
I knew very well the people that work there on the last two decades of the last century, principaly the master of TABU José Rocha.
I show this pictures here to pay homage to this man that spend the most part of her life manouvering small boats like this. This is one of them who he dedicated her enthusiasm, knowledge and affection.
She was deposited over the pear, near the berthing place, waiting for the unriging to scrap, under the view of Santa Luzia mountain.
