In 1992 the Azores issued a set of stamps which depict artisans at work on the island. Only one stamp has a nautical theme.
A shipwright at work on a boat what looks like a wooden fishing boat under construction? The yards where still today this boats are built are situated at Santo Amaro on Pico Island which has been so long as anyone can remembered the boat building centre of the Azores Islands, all kind of wooden boats are built there like fishing boats, whaleboats, dories, launches and sometimes model boats, using traditional methods.
The wooden fishing boat under construction on the yard, I have not any information on.
