Abrolhos wrecks
The first existent register about Abrolhos Isle was done on April 6th 1503 by Americo Vespucio, who were sailing in the region and discovered a great danger around there, the Wallreefs formation.
The Wallreefs are reef formations that might reach 25 meters high and 50 meters long. Most of these wallreefs come closer to the surface, and in some cases, they’re only few centimeters from it, depending on the height of the tide.
The warning given by Americo Vespucio made sense. Even knowing about this detail in that sailing region, a lot of ships sank in the bottom of the sea. There are many sorted wrecks in the Isle, but just few of them were discovered so far.
