The Presence of the Chilean Navy in Cape Horn’, Carlos Aldunate (editor), Cape Horn (Santiago, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino- Banco Santander, 2017).
“In the last years of the nineteenth century and early in the twentieth century, a thorough hydrographic activity took place in the channels that allow access from the Strait of Magellan to the western end of the Beagle channel, as well as to the archipelago where Cape Horn is located. The Naval Base in Magallanes, which evolved into the current Third Naval Zone, was set up in 1895 to coordinate and support the activities that the Navy had been carrying out since decades earlier. The first two decades of the twentieth century saw a comprehensive hydrographic activity in the Cape Horn area, reaching even to the Diego Ramirez Islands.”
