Corveta Ipiranga V17 was a corvette-style warship constructed by the Brazilian Navy (Marinha do Brasil) in 1953.^[1]

Sinking[edit]

Impiranga V17 sank in 1983. During a routine commission on the ship,^[2] the bow of the corvette struck the protruding rocks of the Cabeça da Sapata underwater pinnacle and sank in 60 meters of water off the northeast coast of Brazil, not far from the Fernando de Noronha archipelago.^[3]^[4]

History[edit]

Imperial Marinheiro Class corvettes were built and designed following the order of Brazilian Navy Minister Admiral Renato de Almeida Guillobel in the early 1950's. Captain Ediguche Gomes Carneiro took sea command of Ipiranga V17 after her incorporation in 1955.^[2] She was the fourth Brazilian vessel to be named in reverence to the historically and culturally significant Ipiranga River of Sãn Paulo, the site of Dom Pedro's then Brazilian Independence proclamation in 1822.^[5]

Ipiranga V17 had been one of two corvette ships deployed to sea by Admiral Arnolodo Toscano in response to French fisherman encroaching in the locals' fishing and lobster territory in 1961.^[6]

In 2024, freediver and Guinness World Record holder Karol Meyer was the first to "touch" the shipwreck.^[7] Although, by then, it had been and today continues to be a well-established deep diving attraction.^[8]
