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.

As cold as ice

Pixel art for today based on videogame Project Ice Man for platform IBM PC MS DOS. I do not know what is it a game about a genre. Maybe, it is a quest. In a first half of 90s it were a lots of them, it was a popular genre about Point and Click adventure. And, maybe, it is a action shooter like first two Duke Nukems. Maybe, it has some story, like a movie.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. As original game it is with a name Project Ice Man. Man from Ice, you know. So, I have such a title, I made. As cold as ice. Also. So, what. Sea. Man. A story is made with ice and cold. Ship is swimming in a land of snow. In Antarctica. And it is a science and cargo vessel ship, it need to deliver a cargo and take it to the station at the ice. But ship slinked with some strange events, that happened near the shore. Ship is in water. But it do not go under the water. Ship is at the shallows. It is a big cargo ship. With lots of containers at the ship. With a science cargo.

You are a sea policeman. And you are going to investigate all of these. And get the idea why this happens. You fast boat is swimming though a cold waters. Around it is a snow. You are in a ship. And it is about some science fiction and action movie like. For example, zombie, mutants, Cthulhu. As to make this. Such a picture. About a intro from MS DOS game.

And also a action movie B category. About some science fiction action. At the ship. Labyrinths. In a snow. Open space.  You can imagine this as a map level from videogame Killing Floor. With music like techno and rave. Such movie hero. Snow. Ship.

The Navigator

In The Navigator, Rob Medley transports viewers into a realm where mystery and wonder converge on the high seas. The focal point of the painting, a ship named Marie Celeste, recalls the real-life mystery of the Mary Celeste—a vessel famously found abandoned in 1872 with no clear explanation for the disappearance of its crew. Medley’s ship emerges from the canvas with an almost ghostly presence,…

The Mysterious Case of the Mary Celeste

150 Years of Myth and Mystique

By Graham Faiella

4 December 1872: The brigantine Dei Gratia chances upon another brigantine out on the Atlantic near the Azores. She is the Mary Celeste. She is under sail. But she is deserted. Silent as a drowned cadaver.

For 150 years since then, the mystery of why the Mary Celeste was abandoned, and what happened to the ten souls on board, has spawned thousands of conjectures, conspiracy theories, fictions and fantasies. Some have thought they solved the mystery. Some have just spun yarns. One, at least, has claimed it was all a hoax.

The Mysterious Case of the Mary Celeste: 150 Years of Myth and Mystique unveils those stories – the ‘fake news’, ‘alternative facts’ and the myths fabricated from fractured truths. These are the real facts in search of a truth that remains unfathomable to this day.
