New Packages from Azores Express

He departed from Spain but made his journey after a stop for refit of his ships and a crew from the Portuguese island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean,. The famous explorer had lived on the islands and married the daughter of its governor. Already 750 miles from Lisbon, he figured the world was round if he just kept going west. George Washington was an admirer of Madeira wine, with both his inauguration and the signing of the Declaration of Independence toasted with it, and the frigate Constitution still in Boston Harbor was christened with Madeira wine.
