The luxury cabins reached a cost of 6500 gold pesetas on their journeys to Argentina The Prince of Asturias was a large transatlantic steamship considered at the time a flagship ship of the Spanish merchant navy, owned by the navigation company Naviera Pinillos, which has been immersed for a few years in the Boluda Group its last trip from Barcelona to Buenos Aires in the Argentine Republic. He ran on March 5, 1916, when he stumbled on the Brazilian coasts as reefs very deep into the sea, which cost him the sinking. Of the 600 passengers, only a little over twenty percent: 143 were saved. After the Cuban War: Pinillos Izquierdo y Cía and the Transatlantic Company, the two Spanish naveras were the first private and the second public with the highest pronouncement and in constant competition in the market of the Antilles. The struggle for the South American market makes Pinillos improve its fleet and has its most spectacular choice in the "Infanta Isabel" which has a length of 150 meters, with capacity for about 1900 passengers with a displacement of 16500 tons its really important speed for these dimensions: just over 18 knots. The transatlantic of the private shipowner, only the "Infanta Isabel" begins the construction of its twin: the "Prince of Asturias." The construction of both was carried out in the British Kingston shipyards by the Russell Company. The transatlantic mayestatic has a capacity of 150 first class passengers that were located on the top deck with all kinds of living rooms and services at the highest level. The other classes had a capacity of 240 in second and already with a lower quality 1500 for so-called "migrants." The Prince of Asturias took part in the docks of Barceloneta on February 17, 1916, in which he would be his last singladura. Between its load 20 bronze statues with a total of 16 tons of weight. Next to the scale in Santos, when 4: 00 a.m. on March 5, the bridge staff complained of the lack of visibility and expressed themselves that they did not just see the light of the planned lighthouse if the "Prince of Asturias" was in the position their navigators actually believed At the time, the relays are produced on the bridge and in the machine room, between the hinges of the mist sirens of the transatlantic, the concern is increasing, as they continue to not see the light of the lighthouse and the fruit of it and with the fear of the proximity of the coast, the captain orders five degrees to the port despite them the darkness is total until horrified the captain and his second see them in front of the search for the light, a little one mile at a speed of 10 knots. The order is drastic: back all and all to port was too late when they passed 15 minutes from that fateful early morning on March 5, the "Prince of Asturias" colisione in front of the reef of Punta Pirabura the transatlantic, with its 16,500 tons of displacement, literally jumped out of the water through the collision as they again fell, all the surface of their bottom roars against the stone and the ship of bow is opened to stern seconds after the collision the bow is submerged, raising the stern and leaving the propos, still turning the water out of the Boi to 41.5 miles of the water.
