Greetings, I would think that Horta port would be closer and more convenient for people leaving Sao Jorge since it's much closer by boat than going over to Angra. Nancy Jean

No one seems to know the timeline for this though. GENERALLY, someone would leave from the port closest to home. So, the port of Ponta Delgada has a lot of Sao Miguel and Santa Maria people. However, if someone had to leave soon, they may have gone to the port where the next ship was leaving. I've worked a lot with Ponta Delgada records and I do see an occasional Sao Jorge person. But, GENERALLY, I'd think that Sao Jorge people would most likely leave from the Angra port. I believe that port is closer than the Horta port. Yes, they would need a passaporte. No, it wasn't possible to leave without one.
