Swatch Access «Adamastor»

    The following passage has been OCRed from the Adamastor "instructions".

Swatch «Adamastor»

The Swatch Access you have just purchased is named for a character - a seamonster - in ,,Os Lusiadas'', one of the crowning achievements in Portuguese literature. Poet Luis de Camões invented the tale of a great monster living at the Cape of Storms in South Africa, barring seafarers from sailing into to the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic. Courageous Portuguese explorers were the first to brave the Cape, defeating the monster. After that, the name of the cope was changed to ,,Cape of Good Hope''.
