There&#8217;s a bit of controversy along with the visit &#8211; according to Amnesty International, this ship was used as a detention center by the Pinochet-era Chilean Government, with reports of torture and human rights violations. <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.sfgate.com\/2011-07-22\/bay-area\/29801591_1_tall-ship-chilean-navy-masts\">The Chronicle<\/a> weighed in on the topic, pointing out that while the ship has a dark history, it is currently used as a training ship and carries a crew of 350 people, including women, whom only recently have been allowed to join naval service in Chile.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tristancrane.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/b-2947-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"b-2947\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1430\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kqed.org\/newsfix\/2011\/07\/22\/chiles-naval-ship-esmeralda-docks-in-san-francisco-protests-around-pinochet-era-role-planned\/\">KQED news reported <\/a>on the story as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Busy, busy, busy!
