Site of the Shipwreck - Ship San Pedro de Alcantara 1
Portugal

The ship San Pedro de Alcantara, had left Callao, Lima in Peru and was heading to Cadiz in Spain, having made a stopover for repairs during 4 months in Rio de Janeiro. But, on the night of February 2, 1786, due to navigation error and, possibly due to overweight, the ship San Pedro de Alcantara sank near the Papôa rock, in Peniche, in one of the most important events in the tragic-maritime history of this region. The accident motivated a huge operation to recover goods and equipment, carried out by professional divers from various European countries paid by the Spanish Crown. Almost all of this precious cargo, such as: 150 tons of gold and silver coins and 600 tons of copper, 100 tons of quinquina, 6.5 tons of cocoa. as well as the ship's hull, were rescued from the bottom of the sea. This operation took about three years. Of the 400 passengers it carried, 128 died. The impact of these operations lasted several years and left deep marks on the local population. The valuable goods and equipment were transported in oxcarts to Lisbon and from there to Spain.

O navio San Pedro de Alcantara, tinha partido de Callao, Lima no Peru e dirigia-se para Cadis em Espanha, tendo feito uma escala para reparações durante 4 meses no Rio de Janeiro. Mas, na noite de 2 de Fevereiro de 1786, por erro de navegação e, possivelmente por excesso de peso, o navio San Pedro de Alcantara naufragou junto do rochedo da Papôa, em Peniche num dos acontecimentos mais marcantes da história trágico-marítima desta região. O acidente motivou uma gigantesca operação de recuperação de bens e equipamentos, levada a cabo por mergulhadores profissionais vindos de vários países da Europa pagos pela Coroa Espanhola. A quase totalidade desta preciosa carga, tais como: 150 toneladas de moedas de ouro e prata e 600 toneladas de cobre, 100 toneladas de quinquina, 6,5 toneladas de cacau. bem como o casco do navio, foram resgatados do fundo do mar. Esta operação demorou cerca de três anos De entre os 400 passageiros que transportava morreram 128. O impacto destas operações duraram vários anos e deixou marcas profundas na população local. Os valiosos bens e equipamentos foram transportados em carros de bois para Lisboa e daí para Espanha.
