RMS Magdalena (1948)
Posición donde naufragó el Magdalena frente a costas de Brasil .
El Magdalena fue un trasatlántico de pasajeros y carga refrigerada de 17.547 toneladas de registro bruto que Harland and Wolff construyó en Belfast en 1948 para Royal Mail Lines (RML). Botado el 11 de mayo de 1948, era el tercer barco más grande construido en un astillero del Reino Unido en ese momento.
Construido como reemplazo de un barco perdido durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, debía prestar servicio en la ruta entre Inglaterra y la costa este de Sudamérica . Naufragó en su viaje inaugural en 1949, siendo el sexto barco construido por Harland and Wolff que sufrió este destino. El pago del seguro de £2.295.000 fue el más alto realizado en ese momento por un accidente marítimo en el Reino Unido. Debido a las cambiantes condiciones comerciales, RML decidió no construir un buque de reemplazo.

Magdalena tenía 570 pies 1 pulgada (173,76 m) de largo total (540 pies 0 pulgadas (164,59 m) entre perpendiculares, [ 1 ] con una manga de 73 pies 3 pulgadas (22,33 m), [ 2 ] y un calado de 28 pies 9 pulgadas (8,76 m) (SLL). [ 1 ] Estaba propulsada por dos turbinas de vapor Parsons , con engranajes de doble reducción, que impulsaban dos hélices . [ 2 ] Desarrollando 18.000 caballos de fuerza en el eje (13.000 kW), [ 1 ] podían propulsar el barco a 18 nudos (33 km/h). [ 2 ]
Magdalena tenía cinco bodegas para el transporte de carga refrigerada, tres a proa y dos a popa, [ 2 ] para un total de 460.000 pies cúbicos (13.000 m3 ) . [ 3 ] Internamente estaba dividida en nueve compartimentos estancos . [ 2 ] Era de construcción parcialmente remachada y parcialmente soldada, con doble fondo . [ 4 ] Estaba certificada para transportar 251 tripulantes y 529 pasajeros. [ 2 ] Fue evaluada en 17.547 TRB , 9.885 NRT , 9.725 DWT . [ 1 ]
RML ordenó el Magdalena en 1946. [ 5 ] Su quilla había sido colocada el 8 de octubre cuando Harland and Wolff solicitó un certificado de pasajeros para el barco. [ 6 ] En 1947 se informó que la entrega se retrasaría hasta fines de 1948 y que el costo de construcción sería considerablemente más alto que el costo estimado cuando se realizó el pedido. [ 5 ] Fue construido para reemplazar al Highland Patriot , que se había hundido en 1940. [ 7 ] El Magdalena fue el primer barco de pasajeros construido por Harland and Wolff en Belfast después del final de la guerra y el tercero más grande que se estaba construyendo en el Reino Unido en ese momento. [ 8 ]
El barco fue el tercero de la flota de Royal Mail Lines en llevar el nombre de Magdalena , [ 9 ] fue construido para servir en la ruta Tilbury – Cherburgo – Vigo – Lisboa – Las Palmas – Pernambuco – Bahía – Río de Janeiro – Santos – Montevideo – Buenos Aires . [ 10 ] Fue botado el 11 de mayo de 1948. [ 11 ] Su certificado de pasajero fue emitido el 18 de febrero de 1949. [ 6 ] Su puerto de registro era Londres. [ 12 ] Se le asignaron el Número Oficial 182955 y las Letras de Código GFQD. [ 1 ]
El Magdalena partió de Londres en su viaje inaugural el 9 de marzo de 1949, [ 13 ] con destino a Buenos Aires, Argentina . [ 14 ] Su capitán estaba en su último viaje antes de jubilarse. [ 15 ] Hizo escala en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria el 15 de marzo, [ 14 ] y en Río de Janeiro, Brasil, el 24 de marzo. [ 16 ] Llegó a Buenos Aires, [ 15 ] donde se cargó un cargamento de 3.000 toneladas largas (3.048 t) de carne, [ 17 ] y hizo escala en Santos donde se cargó un cargamento de naranjas. [ 15 ] Con 237 tripulantes y 347 pasajeros, partió de Santos el 24 de abril, pasando al sur de la isla de Moela y la isla de San Sebastián. El rumbo del Magdalena era más al norte de lo previsto, y se hicieron ajustes dos veces por orden de su capitán. El buque pasó por la punta de Boi, San Sebastián, a las 19:56 y su rumbo fue alterado para pasar aproximadamente a 0,5 millas náuticas (0,93 km) al norte del faro de la isla de Palmas, a la entrada del puerto de Río de Janeiro. El capitán se retiró a dormir aproximadamente a las 22:45, dejando órdenes escritas para que se le llamara cuando el buque estuviera en un rumbo de 315° frente al faro de Garituba. Como el Magdalena no debía llegar a Río de Janeiro hasta la mañana, su velocidad se redujo a 13,5 nudos (25,0 km/h). A las 02:30 del 25 de abril, se encontraba a unas 2 a 2,5 millas náuticas (3,7 a 4,6 km) al norte de su posición prevista y se realizó otro ajuste en su rumbo. A las 03:30, estaba en rumbo y se obtuvo el rumbo de 315° al faro de Guarituba a las 03:49, momento en el que se llamó al capitán. Tras comprobar que todo estaba bien, dejó órdenes de ser llamado a las 04:30. [ 2 ]
A las 04:00, se cambió la guardia; se informó a los guardias entrantes que el rumbo del barco significaría que pasaría cerca de las Rocas de Tijucas. Poco antes de las 04:30, se obtuvo una posición que mostró que Magdalena estaba nuevamente a 1 ⁄ 2 milla náutica (930 m) al norte de su posición prevista. Se llamó al capitán como se ordenó y se le informó que la llegada a la isla de Palmas sería aproximadamente a las 05:07. El primer oficial tomó otra posición ya que no estaba seguro de la precisión de la primera. Acababa de regresar al puente cuando vio algo en el agua delante de ellos, que el tercer oficial tomó como un barco sin luces. Se dio la orden "babor, 3 grados", seguida de "todo a estribor" inmediatamente antes de que Magdalena chocara con las Rocas de Tijucas, [ 2 ] ubicadas entre las islas Carragas y las islas Palmas. [ 18 ] La hora de la encalladura fue a las 04:40.
Se emitió un SOS, que fue respondido por la Marina brasileña , que envió tres cazadores de submarinos y tres destructores al lugar. Se ordenó a los pasajeros que se dirigieran a los botes salvavidas . [ 15 ] Los botes auxiliares y remolcadores también ayudaron en el rescate de todos los pasajeros del Magdalena sin pérdida de vidas. Las condiciones del mar en ese momento eran tranquilas. A las 19:00, las turbinas de vapor tuvieron que ser apagadas, y luego se proporcionó energía mediante sus motores diésel auxiliares . [ 2 ] Alrededor de las 20:00, el cazador de submarinos Guaporé llegó y comenzó a rescatar a los pasajeros. [ 15 ] Otros barcos que ayudaron en el rescate fueron los remolcadores Comandante Triunfo , Dorat , Saturno y Trovão , [ 19 ] y también el carguero Goiaz . [ 20 ]
El Magdalena fue reflotado a las 23:34. Su compartimento n.° 3 estaba inundado y se hundió por la proa. [ 2 ] Se enviaron remolcadores para remolcarlo las 15 millas náuticas (28 km) hasta Río de Janeiro. El remolque comenzó a las 07:00 del 26 de abril, con un progreso lento, [ 21 ] con el barco siendo remolcado por la popa y haciendo solo 3 nudos (5,6 km/h). Su proa arrastraba 45 pies (14 m) de agua. [ 22 ] Estaba a través del Pan de Azúcar cuando comenzó a partirse en dos por delante de su superestructura de popa. [ 21 ] Esto sucedió cuando el barco pasaba sobre un banco de arena en la bocana del puerto, que se encontraba a una profundidad de unos 45 pies (14 m). Luego se soltaron las anclas. [ 22 ] Los pasajeros y la tripulación restantes abandonaron el barco, y los últimos tres se fueron justo antes de que el Magdalena se rompiera. [ 21 ]

RMS Magdalena (1948)
Original Company
Royal Mail Lines
Out of Service Date
April 1949
Magdalena was a 17,547 GRT passenger and refrigerated cargo ocean liner that Harland and Wolff built in Belfast in 1948 for Royal Mail Lines (RML). Launched on 11 May 1948, she was the third-largest ship being built in a UK shipyard at that time.
Built as a replacement for a ship lost during the Second World War, she was to serve on route between England and the east coast of South America. She was wrecked on her maiden voyage in 1949, the sixth ship built by Harland and Wolff to suffer this fate. The insurance payout of £2,295,000 was the largest made at the time for a marine casualty in the United Kingdom. Due to changing trading conditions RML decided not to build a replacement vessel.

Wreck of the RMS Magdalena or Titanic in Rio De Janeiro.
A ship built in the same shipyard where the Titanic was born and which ironically ended on its maiden voyage as well.
One of the prides of the British shipping company Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. The Magdalena, the company's third ship with that name, took two years to build, due to a lack of materials in the post-war period. It was launched on May 11, 1948 by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Ireland and immediately placed for passenger and cargo line service to Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
During his inaugural voyage in April 1949, he highlighted the ita come from Santos, with a scheduled stopover in Costa Rio de Janeiro.
January During the early morning hours of the 25th, he was already approaching the city, having the beach of Barra da Tijuca through the bombardment, when at 4:30 am, apparently due to a navigation error by one of the ship's officers, it crashed on the slab of the Islands Tijucas, where he was imprisoned despite attempts to desercathe Ochoque damaged the bow and opened a large hole in pore number 3.
Issued the S.O.S. emergency, the passengers were taken to the lifeboats as the coast is very close, but they did not abandon the ship, which remained stable attached to slab. Several Navy and private ships went to the site to help the vessel, among them: the submarine fighter Guaporé, Guaiba.
Beberibe, the tugs Triunfo, Lieutenant Cláudio and Commander Dorat, in addition to the Saturno and the national freighter Goiazlóide, the first to arrive at the site. It was through some of these ships that passengers were eventually disembarked.
Soon, the ship began to be unloaded, transferring part of its cargo to auxiliary ships, barges and tugs. With the weight alleviated and the following day's high tide, the ship re-floated, starting the slow tow by Triunfo and Comandante Dorat, into the interior of Guanabara Bay.
The entrance to Guanabara Bay is narrow and divided in half by the Laje fortress, where the currents are strong and the surface agitated by the funnel of water that enters and leaves. For it was exactly when crossing the bar, probably forced by the weight of the water that invaded cellar number 3 and the thick sea, that the Magdalena left between the bridge and the striking yellow chimney, which characterized the company. The images are impressive, looking like the ship was cut with a knife.
According to some witnesses, the boilers exploded; which doesn't seem likely, as they were muffled in the first moments of the accident, but the crash of the fracture was enormous, which must have confused the stunned witnesses. Bow and amidship quickly submerged, leaving a large smear of floating objects.
Champagne bottles, among others, were collected by the city's oarsmen for several days after the shipwreck. The stern, which continued to float and was immediately released by the tugs, which tug. they also feared being pulled to the bottom. On board were only the captain, a crew member and the chief practical of Rio de Janeiro, who were quickly rescued by a tug.
However, surprising everyone, half the ship did not sink, drifting until it ran aground in the Imbuí Beach (Niterói) in front of the bow sinking site. Captain Douglas Lee and his first immediately were blamed for the accident by the court of law and had their records suspended for two and one year respectively.
In the days after the accident, the opening left in the rear half of the ship was sealed with steel plates and the entire segment was towed to a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro, where it was scrapped. The ship's machines were sold and, for many years, served as a unit thermoelectric, generating electricity for the city of Manaus. Only having been definitively retired at the beginning of 2000. Some sources claim that windows and other devices in the cockpit were used to decorate the Jurujuba late Clube salon in Niterói.
Today, there are only a few pieces left spread over an area of sand and rock bottom, the largest parts were removed or blown up, and according to DHN (Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação da Marinha do Brasil), no more than wreckage is found. one meter from the bottom. So the location of the wreckage is not very easy.
Diving in the place is extremely difficult. Firstly, because it is the passage of large vessels and therefore, anchorage is prohibited. The place is a big narrowing at the entrance of the bar, so, with the movement of the tides, the currents in the place are very strong. To make matters worse, the color of the water in Guanabara Bay, which although at the bottom is not so dark, due to the agitation and mixing, is close to zero.

In 1949, RMS Magdalena run aground off the coast of Brazil. Her SOS signal was received by the Brazilian navy who made attempts to refloat her. Shipwrecks form a large part of the newly digitised archive at Lloyd’s Register. Take a look! https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/archive-library/ships

This post was inspired by a conversation with a reader (maybe on Facebook?) about loving Billy Zane in Titanic. He’s had a few roles that real standouts to me (Dead Calm, Only You — both modern-set — as well as frock flicks Titanic and Orlando). He’s got THOSE EYELASHES. Sadly these days he seems to be mostly doing low-budget productions, although I’m glad to see he’s working. So, with a lot of B-movie stuff, here’s beautiful Billy Zane in historical flicks:
Back to the Future (1985) & Part II (1989)
As “Match,” so called because he always chewed on a match; one of villain Biff’s gang in these time travel to the 1950s classics.
 Wide ties, high waistbands: check.
