The Wreck of the Galleon Monja AzulThe Royal Spanish Trade Galleon Monja Azul has served as a navigational marker, reverent shrine and occasional target practice for almost a hundred years. Perched on a craggy sandbar like a sentinel, the image of a Catholic Nun watches over the narrow passage that provides a precarious channel to the Spanish discovered Las Vírgenes, now under the protectorate of the royal Navy. When most protestant crews encounter the petrified sister for the first time and inquire for her name in English, a round of guilty snickers arise from the name "Blue Nun".
