Hola Editor of LIP.Add your comment
What happenend to the original wording of this article ?? It seems to have been altered/censored ??
As I remember it from that day of publishing here, it had other words referring to how he died....you know, the British helped the Chileans with better ships, and they did kill the famous Admiral with heavy cannon fire.
Maybe it was deemed provocative.... no lo se..... but true, nonetheless, si ?
Regards,
Viracocha
