The Wreck of MV Cabo Santa Maria

On the coast of Boa Esperenca the shipwreck of the Spanish Freightship Cabo de Santa Maria can be found, which dates back to 1968. When the ship grounded in 1968, the inhabitants of the island were able to obtain all ofthe freight. The crew of the ship was not harmed and left the island shortlyafter, without the freight and the ship. Many years later, it remains to be a one of the main attractions of the island.
