The Mystery of the Itata - El naufragio (The Shipwreck)

Hi everyone, a quick note before we begin.

This season of the Duolingo Spanish podcast is serialized.

So, if you haven't heard the previous episodes yet,

In our last episode, a journalist named Jorge boarded the vapeuritata,

a renowned steamship bound for northern Chile.

when suddenly a storm closed in on the ship.

Only three hours had passed since the vapeuritata had left the port of Cooquimbo

That day, in August of 1922, chaos seized the Itata.

The raging storm swung the massive ship to the left,

and on the deck, near the captain's commanding post,

the journalist Jorge Ekiis tried to make sense of what was going on.

and I didn't understand why the boat moved so much.

Jorge, the waves hitting the ship, sounded like bombs,
