St. Christopher Shipwreck is a grounded boat that was part of the British Royal Navy in World War II. Built in 1943, the rescue tug played a role in the war before being sold, used commercially and then getting snagged on shore in Ushuaia in southern Argentina. Note how the boat rests at a slant in the Beagle Channel. Capture photos of the majestic ship from the 1940s. When skies are overcast, the photo may appear like a luminous J.M.W. Turner watercolor. Incorporate the snow-capped mountains and boats of the surrounding harbour into your picture. The boat is 165 feet (50 metres) long and is made of wood. Admire the elegant design of the ship, which has a black lower half and a white upper half. It was finally depleted of its oil reserves in 2004. Despite being part of the British Navy, the St. Christopher was initially built in the United States. The British initially knew it as the HMS Justice. After being sold for salvage operations in the south of Argentina, it suffered engine problems and was eventually beached in 1957. After finding out about the ship’s intriguing World War II history, enhance your knowledge of the region’s military history with a visit to the nearby Malvinas Memorial. It is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Falklands War in 1982. See the shipwreck for free at any time, as it is lit up at night. However, the boat interior is not open to the public. St. Christopher Shipwreck is in the dock area of Ushuaia. It is about 490 feet (150 metres) south of the city’s southern coast and is just west of the Puerto de Ushuaia in an area full of bars and restaurants. Farther west, find the Malvinas Memorial and the Bahia Encerrada (Closed Bay). ### Tours & day trips [See all 39 activities](https://expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/search?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&filter.categories=ToursDayTrips) ![Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/4259278/c914eba8-806e-4b60-b9ff-224767c83ef1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Beagle Channel Navigation with Minitrekking 4h 9.6/10 5 reviews Free cancellation available £59 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/beagle-channel-navigation-with-mini-trekking-by-patagonia-explorer.a4259278.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![National Park and Train Trip End of the World Guided Tour](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/44988124/13e1ba0d-10c8-433d-9e40-54d592709fae.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### National Park and Train Trip End of the World Guided Tour 6h 7.6/10 5 reviews Free cancellation available £85 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/guided-tour-to-national-park-and-end-of-the-world-train-travel.a44988124.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![Ushuaia: Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/46438104/ec8b79b8-e5c1-4dc1-a394-ff8be94d9b95.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Ushuaia: Catamaran Sailing to Penguin Island 5h 30m 10/10 2 reviews Free cancellation available £68 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/navigation-to-penguin-island-am.a46438104.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![Martillo Island: Boat Tour to Penguin Colony](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/534378/51b7b0e8-ee8e-4844-8b8d-a235e6215fa5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Martillo Island: Boat Tour to Penguin Colony 4h 8.8/10 3 reviews £139 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/boat-ride-penguins-watching.a534378.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![Catamaran Tour through the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/45004504/5214ff20-3c4f-4b19-858b-7a19638b7d75.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Catamaran Tour through the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia 3h Free cancellation available £56 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/catamaran-tour-through-the-beagle-channel-in-ushuaia.a45004504.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![National Park with Train and Navigation Beagle Channel Full Day Tour](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/45683523/375452f9-8805-4899-bc3b-a8d104891f7b.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### National Park with Train and Navigation Beagle Channel Full Day Tour 10h 6/10 1 review Free cancellation available £164 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/full-day-tour-to-national-park-by-train-and-catamaran.a45683523.activity-details?&rid=6297609&location=St.+Christopher+Shipwreck&swp=off) ![Shore Excursion -
