Hello. I am in search of pictures, paintings or drawings of the SS "Cordillera", a steamer owned by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company (PSNC) that brought many settlers from the western coast of Europe to Patagonia and the coasts of Chile.
Here is some data about this vessel:
Date built: 1869
Flag: British
Tonnage: 2.860 grt
Dimensions: 107,7 x 12,5 x 7,5 mt.
Hull: Iron
Power: 2 cylinder steam engine, 500 HP
Of. number: 63189
The SS "Cordillera" finished her days on september 1884 when struck a reef in the Strait of Magellan, south of the city of Punta Arenas with no casualties.
Thanks in advance for your help.
