| Abstract | espanolDurante la Primera Guerra Mundial y su gran desarrollo belico en el entorno europeo y colonial, no se descartaron del conflicto los territorios maritimos neutrales. Este es el caso de las Islas Canarias, lugar en el que se gesto un novelesco episodio de la Guerra, que tuvo consecuencias a largo plazo y que a dia de hoy nos lega un pecio que ha sido objeto de numerosas historias y diversos litigios. En la actualidad el S.S. Westburn, denominado «El Carbonero», yace a las afueras de San Andres como un hito de la historia belica en Canarias, dejando en el fondo un pecio categorizado como arqueologico desde el 2016, que ha sido y es objeto de un desmantelamiento y destruccion a conciencia EnglishDuring World War I, and under the whole military progress in Europe and in the colonial territories, marginal lands like islands were not spared from the confrontations. This is the case of the Canary Islands, where an almost comical military event took place, that nevertheless had consequences in the long term and that left us today a valuable shipwreck, that has been the inspiration for many stories and litigation. Today the Westburn, also called “The Coal Steamer,” lies in the depths off the San Andres shore as a milestone of the Canarian Military History. Since 1916, it possesses the status of archaeological shipwreck and has been, and continues to be, a target of dismantlement and conscious destruction. |
