Sea Star - Pip

Sea Star  -  Pip
1972, December the 26th, afternoon.
The Danish ship Sea Star went aground over the rocks that encircle the Cabo Raso Lighthouse and the crew of 8, with 6 Danish and 2 Portuguese sailors was safe
The cargo: car parts, were to be delivered to Lisbon. Nobody got hurt but despite a fast work the ships fuel destroyed all marine life around it.
For the removal of the cargo one heavy winch was fixed on a concrete bloc built fifty meters away and during 48 years this bloc was the only reminder of this happening for now the sea cleaned everything else, up to the last bolt of that ship.
