Buque Museo Irigoyen

The General Irigoyen museum ship measures 62 meters in length and contains multiple exhibition areas displaying naval equipment and historical artifacts.

Built in the United States for World War II operations, this rescue vessel conducted missions in the China Sea before joining the Argentine Navy in 1961.

The ship's preserved quarters and navigation bridge demonstrate the maritime traditions and operational procedures of the Argentine Navy across different decades.

Guided tours through the vessel explain technical aspects of naval operations, including the engine room, communication systems, and rescue equipment.

The vessel completed over 400,000 nautical miles under Argentine command and became the first national ship to return to Deception Island after the 1967 volcanic event.
