The Corveta Ipiranga V17 was a corvette-style warship vessel constructed by the Brazilian Navy (Marinha do Brasil) in 1953.[1]
Sinking
The corvette sunk during a routine cargo jettison in 1983. Her bow struck the protruding rocks of submerged underwater tower Cabeça da Sapata at a locality described as "twenty minutes sailing" from the tip of the main island of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago off the northeast mainland coast of Brazil.[2][3] She sunk 63 meters (approx. 206ft).
History
Imperial Marinheiro Class corvettes were built and designed following the order of Brazilian Navy Minister Admiral Renato de Almeida Guillobel in the early 1950's. Captain Ediguche Gomes Carneiro took sea command of the Ipiranga corvette after her incorporation in 1955.[4] She was the fourth Brazilian vessel to be named in reverence to the historically and culturally significant Ipiranga River of Sãn Paulo, the site of Dom Pedro's then Brazilian Independence proclamation in 1822.[5]
The Ipiranga had been one of two corvette ships deployed to sea by Admiral Arnolodo Toscano in response to French fisherman encroaching in the coastal waters of the locals' fishing territory in 1961.[6]
In 2024, freediver and Guinness World Record holder Karol Meyer was the first to "touch" the shipwreck.[7] Although, by then, it had been and today continues to be a well-established deep diving attraction.[8]
