Unfortunately there is very little data on this ship.

It was a freighter registered in Gijón. It sunk in heavy seas after colliding with shallows on leaving the bay of Corcubión, laden with manganese, in 1901. There was no loss of life as all the crew made it to safety.

It belonged to a local company, from Gijón. Apparently it was salvaged a couple of times, the last time in the 1960's.

Its position: 45º 53´38.58" N y 9º10´16.58" W.

It lays on a sand seabed at 39m. Visibility is usually good, 10m+. Water temperature, 14ºC.
