The Esmeralda is the jewel of the Chilean Navy. This superb four-masted schooner is one of the world’s three tallest and longest sailing ships. But this gleaming façade hides another, much darker, story. In Valparaiso, its home port, "The White Lady" is haunted by the painful memory of the Pinochet dictatorship. At that time, the Esmeralda became a torture chamber. It was not until 2004 that 115 survivors could testify in a national report on torture. Today, Valparaiso remains a symbol. From its hills, no resident can ignore the ship’s presence. Sergio Vuskovic, Maria-Eliana Comené, Monica Moreno and many others continue to demand that the navy recognize the facts and hand over their tormentors to be judged.
