Baependy, Steamboat wreck site near Sergipe coast, Brazil.

The Brazilian vessel Baependi lies submerged at coordinates -11.833333, -37, marking the location of a World War II maritime incident.

German submarine U-507 torpedoed the Baependi on August 15, 1942, leading to Brazil's declaration of war against Germany and Italy.

The sinking of Baependi, which resulted in 270 casualties, remains a significant event in Brazilian naval history and wartime memory.

The wreck location serves as a research site for maritime archaeologists studying World War II naval engagements in South American waters.

The vessel sank within two minutes of being struck, causing one of Brazil's most substantial maritime losses during World War II.
