abandoned San Gregorio
The historiscal large abandoned Estancia San Gregorio north of the Strait of Magellan rests in peace since a half century. Founded in 1870 it was one of the first places where the 'Sociedad Explotadora Tierra del Fuego' settled. In this area Monsieur Marius Andrieu brought sheep from the Malvinas for acclimatation. With 91805 hectar, Jose Menendez in 1884 leased the fields and bought it in 1903. Since that the development of some industries and livestock farming began. Soon 140000 sheep were on the farm. Jose Menendez bought the ship Amadeo in 1892 (I will post some images of the wreck later), the first steamer in this region, which transported wool to Europe for decades. It is out of operation since 1932 and now lost as wreck. The Ambassador (see pics before) was a shipwreck salvaged by Menéndez, and its wood was used to build the first buildings in the area.
Residents say that ghosts live in the huge buildings.......but we met nobody, they were out that day. Nevertheless it's a ghost town. There is still some equipment inside and huge numbers of bales of sheep's wool.
