Cardenal
Cisneros was a Princesa de Asturias armored cruiser laid
down at Arsenal de Carraca in 1890. She was launched in
March 1897, and commissioned five years later. She had a
short career in the Spanish navy, and under a journey from
Muros to Ferrol for maintenance, she hit ground at
Meixidos reefs south of Finisterre 28. October 1905. It
took nearly an hour before she disappeared in the deep,
and the crew had plenty of time to abandon ship. The wreck
was found in 2006 and her remains rest today on a depth of
60 meter two nautical miles outside Os Meixidos.
