Leixões and Matosinhos Beach

This is a panorama of Leixões from the SS Black Watch’s bow:-
On the edge of the beach near the harbour entrance lies this monument “Tragédia do Mar” or “Tragedy of the Sea” a sculpture commemorating the Shipwreck of 1947, where 152 sailors lost their lives:-
Much further along the promenade, too far away for us to walk to as we were pushed for time getting back to the ship, was this sculpture, “She Changes” by artist Janet Echelman.
I found this better photo by António M.L. Cabral on the internet:-
