We arrived for our second port call in Valparai- so, Chile, on Nov. 20. Most of the crew spent their time sprawling on the beach in Vina Del Mar. Some took the day tour to Santiago, the capital of Chile some 70 miles inland. The rest contented them- selves with the more epicurean delights to be found among the closely built, a nd very weather- beaten houses of Valparaiso itself. Founded in 1536 by Viego De Almagro, Valparaiso was already inhabited by the Changos, an Indian tribe that lived off the sea and traveled the shores in canoes made of sea lion skins. The port lived a rather dull life until English privateers started to plunder the South American coast line in attacks against the Spanish throne. A lot of Chilean firsts happened in Valparaiso. The first Chilean newspaper in 1811, the first battle of Chile ' s war of independence in 1813, Chile ' s first Naval Squadron sailed from here in 1818. The first steam- ship to sail the Pacific was launched from Valparaiso in 1822. Her sister city, Vina Del Mar, was founded about 10 miles to the north in 1874 from the Hacienda of a wealthy port resident. It has become popular with tourists and the nicer hotels are in this section - also the homes of the more affluent Chileans. Ancient and modern worlds coexist. 66
