Wreck in 1977.
The flotilhense João Reguffe Rio Grande found this photo of the ship Altair, stranded on the beach in Rio Grande Casino, which, he says, is apparently rare. Doubt is the place which would be passing by. Hypotheses that places: San Sebastian, Saints? ... Or could he asks, is the passage in the lighthouse Itapuã?

The solemn ship Altair lies at Cassino Beach since June 1976 when it ran aground on the sandy shore. The cargo ship failed to withstand the gales that winter and ended up buried on the coast, becoming one of the three major tourist attractions of the beach. Today the ship is literally disappearing with the passage of time, sea air and sinking in the sand, but is still a point of visiting and a backdrop for photos, though so deteriorated.
