Calbuco (Fishing Boat)

Post by Arturo » Tue Apr 01, 2014 8:41 pm

Privately owned. Although stamp caption reads “Fishing boat of Chile” the vessel shown is the chilote cutter Calbuco, which normally sails between Melinka, Castro, Ancud, Calbuco, and further south.

She is a well known trader and is only engaged in fishing when trading business is slack.

Chile, 1938, S.G.?, Scott; 205.
