I'm hoping she will come across some more wrecks on her trip around South America.

Her six-digit LR number was 542705. The number given is a Miramar ID number attained by adding 5,000,000 to it. Had the vessel survived another year or so it would have gained the seven-digit LR number of 5427057.

Alwasy good to see this wreck Chris.
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'.
Regards, Rick
