Lidador Shipwreck

Wreck

The Lidador is a British steamboat that is part of the Archaeological Subaquatic Park of Angra do Heroismo Bay, on the south side of Terceria. This 78,67 meter long steamboat was built in London in 1873 and sailed the shipping lane connecting Portugal to Brazil. It made regular stops in the Azorean archipelago, carrying both passengers and varied cargo.
On the 6th February, 1878, Lidador hit a shoal which was opposite the fortress of Sao Sebastian resulting in heavy damage to the ship’s hull. The steamboat wandered westwards until it ran aground parallel to Cais da Figuerinha at about 8 meters deep and 50 meters away from the coast where it can still be found.
