Abstract(s)
Durante o período de 1916 a 1936, Portugal, teve ao seu serviço um navio que marcou, para sempre, a história do salvamento marítimo português. De seu nome N. S. Patrão Lopes, o mesmo, fora introduzido ao serviço da bandeira portuguesa a 23 de fevereiro de 1916, após ter sido apreendido à marinha Alemã.
A sua era de salvamento iniciou-se apenas um ano mais tarde, aquando do salvamento de um lugre, de seu nome Ligeiro que fora atingido por um torpedo provindo de um submarino alemão. Desde então, ficara demonstrado que este navio seria detentor de certas características que o tornariam num navio de excelência para o efeito.
Durante o seu período de operacionalização, o navio teve encarregado de inúmeras missões de carácter importantíssimo: desde missões de espécie mais simplista, tais como o reboque a diversas unidades navais, tanto ostentadoras de bandeira portuguesa, como bandeira estrangeira, passando por encargos bastante mais complexos, tais como: missões de destruição, salientando-se a destruição do português Lizdouro, do americano Milton, do alemão Deister e do português Estrela do Mar, missões de inundação, desatando-se a inundação do vapor Ares, por forma a se extinguir um incêndio a bordo, missões de recuperação, fazendo.se salientar a recuperação do Alviela, um navio que, após um inopinado o navio afundou-se junto ao cais onde se mantinha atracado e, por fim, missões de reparação de unidades navais, evidenciando-se a reparação ao holandês Meerkerk e ao grego Oinoussios.
Apesar de todo o seu contributo para o salvamento marítimo português, o desfecho final para este navio fora deveras trágico: após encalhar num baixio, junto à entrada do porto de Lisboa, enquanto praticava o reboque de um batelão, o navio fora deixado à mercê da fúria das condições meteorológicas pelos meios de salvamento do Porto de Lisboa, acabando por se considerar perdido ao final do dia 2 de março de 1936.
From 1916 to 1936, Portugal had at its service a ship that marked forever the history of the Portuguese maritime rescue. Her name, N. S. Patrão Lopes, that had been introduced to the service of the Portuguese flag on 23rd of February of 1916, after being seized from the German navy. His rescue career began only a year later, when a luger was rescued, the Ligeiro, which had been struck by a torpedo from a German submarine. From then on, she demonstrated that this vessel possessed the right characteristics which would make it a vessel of excellence for this purpose. During the period it operated, Patrão Lopes conducted numerous very important missions: some of a more simplistic nature, such as the towing of several vessels, both Portuguese and foreign, as much more complex charges , such as destruction missions, like the destruction of the Portuguese Lizdouro, the American Milton, the German Deister and the Portuguese Estrela do Mar. Flood missions, unleashing the flood of the steamer Ares, in order to extinguish a fire on board. Recovery missions, highlighting the recovery of Alviela, a ship that, after a short while, sank at the dock where it was moored, and finally, repair missions, evidencing the reparation to the Dutch ship Meerkerk and the Greek Oinoussios. In spite of all its contribution to the Portuguese maritime rescue, the final outcome for this ship was indeed tragic: after stranding in a shallow area, near the entrance to the Port of Lisbon, while towing a barge, the ship was left at the mercy of fury of meteorological conditions by means of rescue of the Port of Lisbon, ending up being considered lost at the end of the day, March 2nd of 1936.
