Vapor de Baixo

It is not possible to correctly determine the name and date of this shipwreck. Probably she was a small wheeled tugboat, with steam propulsion. She is correctly supported on the bottom and although most of the parts are buried, the engines and boilers are almost intact and in the correct position. Not to be missed!
