In 1906, the
Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego acquired most of the
sheep-ranching lands in the Chilean province of Última
Esperanza, located some 150 miles north of the Strait of Magellan.
The existing fat-rendering plant at Puerto Bories was replaced
in 1915 by this large-scale freezing works, with a capacity of
300,000 animals per season.
These images of the plant and its operations are taken from the
1943 "Explotadora" company history, written by Fernando
Durán.
