EL Radio Club de Carabineors de Chile, en su continuo andar no quizo dejar pasar la oportunidad de participar en una nueva activación del evento ILLW 2011, en esta oportunidad con el Faro Quintay; ya que el 2010 nuestra participación con el Faro Peninsula Los Morros XR2M tubo que se suspendida por el terremoto que azoto a Chile el 27 de febrero.

 

 

FARO QUINTAY

En un roquerio de la Caleta de Quintay, está enclavado el faro de Quintay, cuyas coordenadas son 33º 10’59 77” S; 71º 41’9 73” O. y que fue puesto en funcionamiento el año 1938 para guiar los barcos balleneros de la planta Ballenera INDUS de Quintay, inaugurada en 1943. Actualmente este faro ha sido refaccionado y se encuentra funcionando energizado por celdas solares.

La Caleta de Quintay se encuentra a 47 K .m sur de Valparaiso, el principal Puerto Chileno, ubicado en la Quinta región de Chile y a 122 KM de Santiago, Capital.

Esta planta ballenera, fue la mayor empresa nacional dedicada a la caza de ballenas, llegando a capturar más de 1.600 ejemplares y producir cerca de 5.000 toneladas de aceite en un solo año de funcionamiento. Hasta 1964 produjo aceite, jabon, cebo, peinetas, detergentes y otros cerrando definitivamente en 1967 por motivos económicos.

La importancia que tuvo esta industria tanto para la economía y el desarrollo del país en aquellos años, como para las familias de la localidad, es a menudo desestimada en gran parte debido a la mala reputación actual de la actividad ballenera. Pero la influencia de esta industria se siente todavía de muchas maneras en Quintay, y su patrimonio histórico es hoy rescatado para las nuevas generaciones.

Esta antigua planta ballenera hoy está abierta como museo, administrada por la Fundación Quintay, producto de un proyecto de una universidad, para aprender de la historia del negocio ballenero en nuestro país, y para sentirnos orgullosos que Chile haya firmado hace muchos años un tratado internacional donde se comprometía a no cazar nunca mas estos hermosos animales.

Las tarjetas QSL deben ser enviadas a la casilla 50314-1 Correo Central Santiago de Chile , con un sobre auto dirigido y debidamente estampillado, las tajetas que se reciban directamente y no incluyan el auto franqueo seran respondidas via Bureau.

The official Station ARS RAdio Club de Carabineros de Chile, in his I continue walking not stopping to spend the opportunity to take part in a new activation of the event ILLW 2011, in this opportunity with the Faro Quintay; since 2010 our participation with the Faro Peninsula The Knobs XR2M pipe that suspended by the earthquake that I flog Chile on February 27.

LIGHTHOUSE QUINTAY
In a roquerio of Quintay's Cove, there is nailed Quintay's beacon, which coordinates are 33 º 10 ' 59 77 " S; 71 º 41 ' 9 73 " O. and that was put in functioning the year 1938 to guide the ships whale-boats of the plant Whaler Quintay's INDUS, inaugurated in 1943. Nowadays this beacon has been repaired and works energized by solar cells.
Quintay's Cove is to 47 K. south m of Valparaiso, the principal Chilean Port located in the Fifth region of Chile and to 122 KM from Santiago, The Capital.

This one plants whaler, it was the major domestic enterprise dedicated to the hunt for whales, managing to capture more than 1.600 copies and to produce near 5.000 tons of oil in the alone year of functioning. Until 1964 it produced oil, soap, fodder, combs, detergents and others closing definitively in 1967 for economic motives.

The importance that had this industry so much for the economy and the development of the country in those years, since for the families of the locality, is scorned often largely due to the bad current reputation of the activity whaler. But the influence of this industry feels still of many ways in Quintay, and his historical heritage is rescued today for the new generations.

This former plant whaler today is opened as museum, administered by the Foundation Quintay, product of a project of a university, to learn of the history of the business whale-boat in our country, and to feel proud that Chile has signed many years ago an international agreement where it was promising not to hunt nevermore these beautiful animals.
