Estimados colegas:
Descripción de una maniobra marítima en la cual dos barcos se enfrentan navegando y luego efectivamente chocan.

" ... y cuando el buque estaba muy cerca aproximadamente dos cables por la amura de babor, el Capitán, el oficial de guardia y el práctico advertimos simultáneamente que el otro buque venía mostrando su luz roja y verde, no observándose luces de tope….”
Desde ya, muy agradecido.
