My friend Júlio Laranjeiro, the eternal captain of the "Julius " — one of Peniche’s best-known boats — came by to leave us a true rarity: the book “Berlengas — The History and the Stories…”.
A book dedicated to the history of the Berlengas, its territory, its heritage, and the many stories that, over the years, have become part of this archipelago that means so much to all of us from Peniche.
Júlio is such a character, and a special man. He decided to leave this book here at Waterlost because he recognises what, little by little, we have been building here: a space where we preserve pieces of Peniche’s history and culture, of the sea, and of the people who are part of it.
A curiosity, it was Júlio’s father who gave my Dad his very first job when he was just 11 years old — and for that too, we remain forever grateful.
The book is now at Waterlost, available for the community to read, explore and enjoy.
Obrigado Capitão Júlio!
