Episode description

We make a return to Chile after about two years away to tell the tale of the steamship Cazador (the first such vessel to ever serve in the Chilean Navy).

We were previously in Chile for the story of the Angamos wayyyy back in Episode 14; give it another listen if you need a refresher!
