For 1,500 years Lisbon men have been sailors. From here the Spanish Armada sailed. To a singular degree  the sea has shaped the destiny of Lisbon. Sea trade sustains her; at times, tidal waves have nearly destroyed her. Lisbon's very name, one tradition says, came from "Ulyssippo" and the mythical Iberian city founded by Ulysses.
