Picture taken in the port of Puerto Chacabuco, CHile.

She was a passenger/cargo vessel built at Dundee as the "Andorinha" in 1911 for Andorinha S.S.Co Ltd (Yeoward Bros), Liverpool. She sailed in their Liverpool - Madeira - Canary Island service.

(Built 1911 for Yeoward according to Miramar and Lloyd's register. Built Caledon, Dundee, Yd 216)

In 1929 she was renamed "Champerico" following sale to the Pacific Steam Nav. Co., and in 1936 "Vina del Mar" for Torres & Ward,of Valparaiso.

She was wrecked there in 1963 - One of our crewmembers on our cruise with the MS Nordnorge back in 2005 told me, that the ship was "put" ashore from a tsunami-wave. Happend during a eruption of one of the near vulcanoes. Don't know if that is the case...
