We, seafarers, love those vessels where we have sailed. And this is an extremely sad picture of a vessel where I saled during about three years including a trip as Master. For sure, the best years of my sea career, sharing my days on board with an excellent crew. At least, she will end her life in the same river waters were she was born.

Hi pieter. I undertand now what you say.
This ships are not involved with Rio Santiago Shipyard. They are moored close to it in the same port, but off it.
The google map position of the mooring site is: -34.844983,-57.890057

Hi Maxi: Cradle to Cradle means roughly that something starts its live and ends it in the same place. It is rare these days that a shipyard gets involved in scrapping their own products after they have finished their useful live. They mostly end up on beach somewhere in Asia.

Hello pieter. What do you mean with the expresion "cradle to cradle". I can´t find an sapnish traslate jaja.
The shipyard is working nowaday. step by step but undergoing. The main problem is Political. The shipyar belong to the State goverment, not private owner, with the budget limitation it imply.
Nowadya, Eva Peron is afloat finishing the cargo deck, and Juana Azurduy is still under build.

On the right of the photo can be seen two Patrol Ships under build for the argetinian navy.
Acording to the facebook site, they do some ship repairs, mostly navy ships, and hidraulic proyects for the goverment.

Thanks Maxi, so this is really from cradle to cradle. Is the shipyard still in anyway operational? I was on a boat tour in 1998 with the La Plata Port authority and by then it looked already abandoned, although there were some ships lying around, a Russian dredger and a Korean fishing boat.

Hello Pieter. Yes, it´s close. Just in front of Rio Santiago Shipyard.
Hello Matty. Just like you say, in front of her is her sister ship, Astrafederico.

I wonder if that's her sister behind.

Nice photo - wrecks are always interesting. Do you think her engine has seized? I bet you could start it up still if it is a reputable engine.
