BX hiding the Esmeralda

Post by pindimar »

Hello all,

Just thought that I'd send a picture of my TZi wagon trying to hide the controversial Chilean Naval Training ship Esmeralda in Sydney last Sunday. It was raining that day so lots of the detail of age and use is not apparent withy the BX.

The ship too, looks her age these days - A four-masted schooner, 371' long, Esmeralda was built in 1953 in Cadiz, Spain, from plans used to build Spain's Juan Sebastian de Elcano 27 years previously. She is used by the Chilean Navy.The Chilean Community here are protesting about the ship being here because, during the Pinochet Coup the ship was used as a location to torture leftists. A bit of controversy there. That's maybe why the BX is trying to hide the ship!
