Some more pictures from inside the abandoned Estancia San Gregorio - Strait of Magellan, Patagonia In my opinion this abandoned room is a piece of artwork itself. I know, sometimes I have strange thoughts ;-) See PiP!

ghost town San Gregorio - strange that after decades of decay you can find still a lot of sheep wool in the lost halls. For story see www.ipernity.com/doc/berny/40631098

abandoned Estancia "San Gregorio" - Strait of Megellan, Patagonia Still a lot of wool in the halls, it seems that the Estancia had been left overnight. This situation here is the same since decades.

San Gregorio - end of series

Ambassador is an United Kingdom tea clipper built in 1869 (dimensions: 53.5 x 9.54 x 5.82 m). She was a composite clipper, built with wooden planking over an iron skeleton and was W. Lund & Co's first tea clipper. William Walker built Ambassador at Lavender Dry Dock in London. Though considered a fast ship, Ambassador was said to be "very cranky and overmasted". Her first passage to the UK from Foochow came during the Tea Race of 1870 under Captain Duggan and took 115 days, a mediocre performance; that same year the fastest tea passage, also from Foochow, was made by the clipper Lahloo in just 98 days. Ambassador‍ '​s fastest passage between China and England was 108 days, in 1872. Ambassador has been beached in the Strait of Magellan at Estancia San Gregorio, Chile since 1899. In 1973 Chile declared her a historic monument. But you can imagine, that sooner than later it will disappear. The remains on the right hand side are from the steamer Amadeo. This is the same ship in the year 2000 (scanned slides from my old Minolta X700):
