Krauter radio operator of the Princess Anne This picture shows the radio operators from the Merida and the Princess Anne after the 319 passengers and crew of the Merida were rescued. The Merida sunk after colliding with the fruit steamer Admiral Farragut that was on the way back to Jamaica from New York. The Merida was said to be carrying 17 tons of silver bars and another $1 million worth of jewels and other coins. However, several attempts to recover the treasure since have recovered only a fraction of that.

This church is located in Cartagena,Columbia .Visited there in 2008

This is the Cathedral of San Ildefonso in Merida Yucatan Mexico before he lost his wooden altar, begin construction in the year 1561, 19 years after the founding of Merida (1542) and was completed 37 years later in the year 1598.

Most of those churchs (chatedrals) still exists in several villages of Yucatan today. We still can read at the ancient brick's captions the building dates; something like this: "Esta catedral de San Juán fue construida en el año de 1577" or things and years like that. Also, most of those chatedrals were built over ancient mayan temples, using the same bricks, in a try of the conquerors to "convert" the mayan people to catolicism

Santiago Church in Merida was finished in 1637
