St. Christopher, Ushuaia




Here’s a wider view of the St. Christopher grounded by the shoreline outside the port of Ushuaia, Argentina. The popular tourist attraction started life in a New Jersey shipyard during World War II where she was built as a salvage tug and immediately loaned to the UK Royal Navy. She was renamed HMS Justice and saw service for 3 years until 1946. Following the war, she was returned to the US Navy and decommissioned in 1947 before being sold to an Argentinian salvage company for whom she operated in the Beagle Channel for a while until the company went out of business. Her working life ended in 1957 when she was towed to her current location and run aground.
