Looks like some bored Chilean (?) naval guys have taken some pot shots midships.
The numbers are quite astounding - she was 31 years old *when* she went aground, and has now been resident there for 44 years.
Clearly, a sheltered location &, I assume, a lack of extreme weather has helped preserve her.
Remarkably well 'intact'.
