Lord Lonsdale

Something to see in a city of not much to see. This will give you a photo opportunity. Snap the photo and head for another location, preferably outside the city. There is a gas ration and a bakery close next door where you can buy some snacks.

Es un navio abandonado que allí quedó. En el Museo Maggiorino Borgatello hay la siguiente explicación sobre el buque:El buque Londsdale fue una embarcación inglesa construida a fines del siglo XIX

Un bello atractivo de Punta Arenas, con una vista completa del Estrecho de Magallanes, esta un poco descuidado, ya que lo han rayado con grafitis, pero con punto a destacar le agregaron luces para ser visto de noche. Una postal que debes llevarte de esta ciudad.

Sólo un lugar para tomar una foto. Al lado de la carretera.

Verdaderamente impresionante las dimensiones de todo... nunca había estado en un encallamiento" y la verdad es que me impactó cómo el agua salada

The Lord Lonsdale started its final journey a world away in Hamburg, Germany, in 1909. The 10-year old ship was set to sail all the way to Mazatlán on the western coast of Mexico. With the Panama Canal still under construction, that meant a trip through the Strait of Magellan, which separates mainland Chile from Tierra del Fuego. While stopped over in Stanley Harbour in the Falkland Islands, the ship caught fire. With the blaze out of control they did the only thing they could – they sank the ship. hipwreck of the Lord LonsdaleNEAR THE TIP OF CHILE, in the town of Punta Arenas, rest the remains of a frigate: an old workhorse of a ship called the “Lord Lonsdale.” Exactly how and why she ended up here is a bit of a mystery.The Lord Lonsdale started its final journey a world away in Hamburg, Germany, in 1909.

After the fire, the steel hulk (the body of a ship that floats but isn’t seaworthy), was sold to a company of traders called Braun & Blanchard. They may have had plans to move it to their warehouses in Puerto Natales to use it for storage – a feat requiring hundreds of miles of towing through the straits – but it only got moved to Punta Arenas before they literally abandoned ship.

Barco abandonado se puede hacer kayak hasta el fondo y ver la vida marina que hay alrededor de ella.

Se puede bajar a la playa y realizar fotos más cercanas, evitar subir por el estado de oxidación del barco.
