The Douro: a transatlantic ship

The Douro was a steamship built in 1865 in Scotland. As a cargo ship of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. (RMS), it could accommodate 313 passengers and a crew of 80, but was primarily intended to carry mail and newspapers. Its hold was also often filled with goods and precious cargoes of gold and diamonds.

This ocean liner had undertaken no less than 61 voyages for 17 years. It always sailed the South Atlantic seas and served the route between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Southampton, UK. It transited through Portugal, hence its name, borrowed from the Iberian river that links Spain to Porto. It never completed its 62nd voyage, as it sank on the last leg of its journey.

1rst April 1882: the night of the tragedy

The ship left the port of Lisbon 1.5 hours late on 31rst March. To make up for the undue delay, it sailed at full speed towards England. On the evening of the 1st, on a full moon night, the Douro passed off Cape Finisterre.

The fourth officer of the ship spotted another ship about 3.7 km away. Thinking that the sailor on the bridge had also noticed him, he did not consider it necessary to inform him. What a critical error! At around 10.45 PM, the RMS Douro was hit on its starboard side by the Spanish Yrurac Bat. Within 30 minutes, the boats sank. The passengers were saved in extremis, but six members of the Douro’s crew died, including the captain and the first officer, who let themselves be carried away with their ship and the gold cargo. The survivors, rescued by the British steamer Hidalgo, were taken to La Coruña in Spain.

Il nostro sistema farà quindi automaticamente un'offerta per conto di quegli utenti, aumentando in modo incrementale l'offerta per mantenere la loro posizione di miglior offerente, fino al massimo specificato.

Quando è presente un'icona che indica "Offerta automatica", significa che il nostro sistema sta attivamente facendo offerte per l'utente in base alla sua offerta massima. Potrebbe sembrare che gli utenti stiano superando l'offerta, ma è semplicemente il risultato dell'aggiornamento dell'offerta da parte del sistema in modo da riflettere il limite massimo degli utenti.
