Del Missisippi 🇺🇸 a Benalmádena 🇪🇸: la historia del USS Willow

——————

Paseando por #PuertoMarina se divisa una enorme mole semihundida al fondo, es el barco ‘Willow’.

.

La historia del Willow -el barco que se hunde en Benalmádena, Málaga- se remonta al año 1924, cuando el Servicio de Faros de los Estados Unidos encargó la construcción de un vapor de palas para la tareas de señalización del río Misisipi. El contrato de la construcción de este faro flotante lo ganaba la compañía Dubuque Boat and Boiler Works que, por un precio de 372.000 dólares, fabricó un buque en los astilleros de San Louis de 60 metros de eslora, 19,5 de manga y 2,7 metros de calado. Tras someterse a una serie de pruebas, este barco bautizado como Willow navegó a Nueva Orleans donde el 4 de octubre de 1927 entraba en servicio. Fue también cárcel de prisioneros alemanes residentes en EEUU y en en el año 1962, el buque fue vendido a un empresario para ser usado como hotel y restaurante flotante.

.

En 1989 el Willow cruza el atlántico a bordo de un buque semi sumergible que lo llevó a Southampton

.

En 1996 viaja a Benalmádena finalmente donde funciona como bar y restaurante flotante durante dos años. Cuando deja de tener actividad el barco queda amarrado en este puerto y queda abandonado tras numerosos litigios entre las administraciones y la sociedad propietaria del barco.

.

Finalmente según he leído a partir de un gran temporal en 2019 de le abre una vía de agua y empieza a hundirse.

Imagine going to check out a small (comparably) abandoned tugboat and behind it, noticing the most massive riverboat you’ve seen in your life - a huge dredge, left to decay near the river that put it to work.

I miss living by the Mississippi River. I still have a glass bottle of her water in my shrine.

The Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste was an American-registered brigantine ship used by merchants in the mid to late 1800s. She set sail from New York Harbor in November of 1872, headed toward Italy. Approximately a month after her November launch, the British ship the Dei Gratia found the Mary Celeste at full sail, adrift, and completely abandoned 400 miles off the coast of the Azores, a region of Portugal. The ship was searched, but all that was found aboard was some water in the hold (a compartment area below deck) and an empty space where a lifeboat should have been. There was little to no damage to the Mary Celeste, and plenty of food and fresh water was still on board. There were allegedly no signs of foul play, with no bodies, little to no blood, or any damage to the ship suggesting a struggle of any kind.

Notable is the questionable history of Mary Celeste. She was originally named the Amazon but went through several name changes following various odd misfortunes. A rebranding, if you will. One such event was the mysterious illness and death of the ship’s first captain, as well as instances of attempted insurance fraud.  Theories have turned up over the years, both reasonable and non-sensible. One is mutiny or a pirate attack. While both situations are somewhat common on the ocean, it does not make sense for the Mary Celeste; there was no blood or bodies on board, nor was there much damage that one would expect in an all-out fight of some sort. Sea monsters and giant octopi have also been mentioned, but again there was no damage or anything else to suggest such theories as true. There was no apparent sound reason for the crew and captain to have completely left the ship, as they were all experienced sailors, and again, nothing seemed wrong with the ship; the ship did not seem to be in peril.

MS World Discoverer was a German expedition cruise ship. It hit an uncharted reef in the Sandfly Passage 29. April 2000. The hole was too big to get it repaired on the spot, so all the guests were taken ashore. A few hours later the captain ran the ship full speed on ground in Rodrick bay. (via sv_manjana)

zelgug breakup was probably mutual or even if one-sided not very dramatic. however, i do think it's very funny to imagine that gorgug was super torn up about it purely by virtue of the rest of the bad kids all being stuck on the worst road trip of their lives with him and having to endure at least 3 whole days of nothing but sad radiohead/deftones/slowdive/weezer/etc and/or zelda's incredibly loud metal playlist blasting on full volume from the van radio. it's fine at first. but a couple hours in they're all begging fabian to let them on the back on the hangman. they're crowded around kristen's airpod playing her health podcast as loud as it can like stranded antarctic adventurers huddled around a dying campfire
