• Episode 159 - Padre Eterno

  This week it's the tale of the Portuguese galleon Padre Eterno, launched in the Bay of Guanabara in 1663. More the story of a ship that did wreck at some point and the world she inhabited rather than a nuts-and-bolts 'shipwreck' yarn. The Sameer Project Sources: Blackburn, Robin.
