Ram Poderoso, Historic steamboat in Talcahuano, Chile.
The Ram Poderoso steamboat measures 37.8 meters in length, 7.6 meters in width, and features a 680 horsepower steam propulsion system.
Built in 1911 at H & C Grayson Shipbuilders in Liverpool, England, this vessel served British companies in Valparaiso before becoming Chile's primary tugboat.
The Ram Poderoso Corporation was established to maintain maritime traditions and transform the vessel into a floating museum and library in Talcahuano.
The steamboat performed various maritime operations, including ship assistance, water supply, anchor recovery, and submarine cable installation until its retirement in 1988.
The 2010 earthquake and tsunami caused the vessel to capsize in Talcahuano Bay, where it remains on its side near the former customs building.
