on the way to Nesland - Skjelfjorden or Ford-Fjord ;-)

There is a famous blacksmith in Sund (Lofoten). This place is a must see for those, who love running (!) old engines, rusty, old and abandoned stuff and to see him working in his forge. You can visit some museum huts, also a fishery museum.

Hipparchus was a mixed powered vessel and was built 1867 at Hebburn on Tyne. In the background there is the County of Peebles with 4 lower masts. The brig‐rigged steamer was built by Andrew Leslie & Co. for the “Liverpool, Brazil and River Plate S.N.Co.Ltd.”. Her engine was built by R.Stephenson&Co., Newcastle upon Tyne (the same Stephenson of “ROCKET”‐ 1829 fame). With a mail contract from Antwerp to Brazil & the River Plate she was one of eight ships transferred to the wholly‐owned subsidiary “Societe de Nav. Royal Belge Sud‐American” and registered under the Belgian Flag from 1878. In 1894 she reverted back to the Liverpool register and was hulked at Valparaiso in 1895. Sold by Lamport & Holt on August 1st, 1915. Now rotting near Punta Arenas. Tonnage 1840 grt, dimensions 88.6 x 10.52 x 8.6 m, engine 1 x 2 cyl. compound engine, single shaft, 1 screw, power 170 i.h.p. The PiP shows the ship from the other side 5 years before.

The "County of Peebles" in the background was the first iron 4-mast windjammer in the world, built 1875 in Glasgow and was in operation till 1898. Unfortunately there is no accessable viewpoint for an overlook of this beauty. It's military playground and well protected. The british frigate had 1614 grt, the dimensions are 81.3 x 11.8 x 7.1 m. Only 4 lower masts still intact.

see PiP's for some details.....

Strait of Magellan - British fully ragged steel sailing ship 'SV Lord Lonsdale' was built 1889. It had 3 masts, a tonnage of 1756 grt and was (or is) 69.1 x 12 x 7.1 m tall (it looks actually smaller on the image as ist really is). Lonsdale caught fire on 6.10.1909 being on voyage from Hamburg for Mazatlan (West Coast Mexico) in Port Stanley Harbour (Falkland Islands) and was beached to extinguish the fire. It had been loaded with coal. It had been hulked after the fire and then beached again in 1940 as a wreck south of Punta Arenas.

Amadeo inside - see story at www.ipernity.com/doc/berny/40643526 the seaside is completely eroded - a nice feeling there ;-)

San Gregorio - Jose Menendez bought the ship Amadeo in 1892, the first steam boat in this region, which transported wool to Europe for decades. Tonnage 412 grt, beached since 1932. Now fast erosion destroys the remains, especially the seaside and the back :-( Better days (www.wrecksite.eu):
