Reviews
"There should also be a British flag here."
"great little park right on the harbor, not too far to walk from downtown New Bedford"
"Braves of Portugal who left homeland to come to a Foreign Shore."
"Prince Henry the Navigator was neither a sailor nor a navigator, but he sponsored a great deal of exploration along the west coast of Africa. Under his patronage, Portuguese crews founded the country's first colonies and visited regions previously unknown to Europeans. This is a nice monument but should address his unfortunate role in the slave trade."
"So great for children and families, New Bedfords smaller museums offer a lot more than meets the eye. Underrated experience if looking at town reviews I believe."
