Naufragios en la Patagonia: El legado del Folias ⚓ - Canal Encuentro

Its profile unequivocally breaks the dominance of the landscape, as it is the only shipwreck that permanently protrudes from the sea surface, just 300 meters from the coast. It ran aground on a beach in Puerto Madryn (Chubut Province) after a fire on board and ultimately sank on Christmas Day 1980. It is one of the largest shipwrecks in the area. ✨This series is a journey into the depths of the ocean to investigate and document the most notable historical shipwrecks. We will visit the shipwrecks of the corvette Swift (1770), the schooner Emma (1947), the fishing vessel Folias (1980), the ocean-going vessel Flora (1925), the steamer Magallanes (1887), the cruiser Monte Cervantes (1930), the steamer Villarino (1899), and a shipwreck found in Punta Cuevas, Madryn (1858), whose identity has yet to be revealed. #canalencuentro #documentary #history #shipwreck #patagonia #diving #archaeology
