Uruguay’s big staysail
schooner, Capitan Miranda, has served her nation’s Navy for more
than two decades. Built in 1930 as a sailing cargo carrier, she was
active in various trades in Latin America after World War II. She
became a hydrographic survey vessel for the Uruguayan Navy during
the 1960s, and in 1978 she became a sailing ship again, with a
modern schooner rig that was developed in the 1920s for racing
yachts. |
