EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting remnants of the SS Santa Leonor, once a proud Bayfield-class attack transport ship. The vessel's tragic fate led it to rest eternally on Adelaide Rocks in Paso Shoal, Smyth Channel, Patagonia, within Chile's Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region. Originally known as USS Riverside (APA-102), this valiant ship played a crucial role during World War II. Tasked with delivering troops to battlefronts and providing care for the wounded, she served gallantly in the Pacific Ocean against the Empire of Japan. However, her wartime glory eventually gave way to a different destiny. After being decommissioned on 27 April 1946 and subsequently sold to Pacific Argentina Brazil lines (P&T) in December 1948, she underwent several name changes throughout her journey. Renamed SS P&T Forester under new ownership before being sold again in March 1957 to Moore McCormack Lines Inc. , where she became known as SS Mormacwave. Finally finding herself under Grace Lines Inc. 's ownership in August 1966, she was christened SS Santa Leonor. Sadly, tragedy struck on that fateful day of 31 March 1968 when the Santa Leonor met its final demise on Isabel Island within Smyth Channel. Today, only fragments of her submerged wreck remain as a poignant reminder of her storied past. Artie Photography skillfully captured this evocative image without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness both the grandeur and ultimate tragedy that befell this once-mighty vessel amidst Patagonia's breathtaking landscapes
