Naufrágio do São Luiz

No reviews yetBrazil, Rio Grande do Norte, Natal

São Luiz is supported in the fund, already at an advanced stage of cutting, but the wreckage and are aligned to the ship's structure. The bow is to port and OSSIER little left of its structure. Along the bow is a major fall-type anchors admiralty. In the middle of the castle is great for capstan winch. Hold until the first half-ship, the hull is wide neck forming a tunnel about 30 meters, with an entrance in front of the boilers and the other near the forecastle. The transition is easy and very pretty. The hull toward the sandy bottom of the first mast is down and some other parts that appear to be part of the chimney. Not very frequent so before you have to schedule.
