CADIZ

 We have arrived in Cadiz.

On Our passage We have discussed amongst Our Crew the origins of Our Vessel...

Originally laid down in a Cadiz Shipyard 'THE ESMERALDA' was given to the Government 

of Chile by the Francoist Spanish Government despite being damaged after a huge explosion near the Shipyard

which was blamed on Marxist Sabotage' rather than Military Incompetence.

8 Members of the 'JSU' [Unified Socialist Youth] were executed after being blamed for another very similar incident which occurred three weeks later.

[the real reason was the degradation of Nitro Cellulose being stored] the 'Press' were ordered

not to report the incident by the FASCISTS.

AFTER BEING COMPLETED 'THE ESMERALDA' BECAME A TRAINING SHIP

AND WAS RE-FITTED AT VARIOUS TIMES TO FULFIL OTHER FUNCTIONS

IT BECAME KNOWN AS THE 'DEATH SHIP' 

AFTER BEING USED AS A FLOATING TORTURE CHAMBER/PRISON AND WAS VETOED 

AND MET WITH PROTESTS AT MANY PORTS WORLD WIDE
