Ram Poderoso, Historic steamboat in Talcahuano, Chile.

Ram Poderoso is a steamboat that now rests in Talcahuano Bay as a preserved cultural site in Chile. The vessel operated across different maritime roles during its long working life on water.

Launched on 27 May 1911 by H. & C. Grayson in Garston, near Liverpool, as hull number 69, the Poderoso was transferred to Valparaíso in July 1911 and served as Chile's largest and most modern tug. Retired in 1988 after 77 years, it was declared a national monument in 1990 and moved to Talcahuano's customs port as a museum ship in 1994. The 2010 tsunami capsized it at its mooring; it was never righted.

The name Poderoso means "powerful" in Spanish, a straightforward label for Chile's largest and most modern tug when it entered service. Since 1994 the non-profit Corporación Monumento al Trabajo Marítimo RAM Poderoso has cared for the ship, running it as a floating museum and library in Talcahuano's customs port.

The Poderoso lies capsized on its side in Talcahuano Bay, in front of the site of the former customs house, which the 2010 tsunami also destroyed. It is not open to visitors and cannot be boarded; it is seen from the shore. The RAM Poderoso corporation, which has managed the ship since 1994, has warned that it needs urgent repairs in dry dock.

The boat rests on its side in the bay, serving as a visible reminder of the natural forces that struck the region in 2010. Over time, this capsized vessel has become a symbol of how the community adapted and moved forward after the disaster.
