The four-masted Chilean tall ship the Esmeralda, a navy training vessel upon which political prisoners were imprisoned and tortured in the wake of the 1973 US-backed coup in Chile, will be calling at Rodman on May 6 as part of Panama's centennial year celebrations. Former foreign minister and current Centennial Commission chief José Miguel Alemán, now a presidential candidate, has included the notorious ship's visit as part of the year-long celebration of Panama's independence. During the visit there will be open visitation for Chilean citizens and a reception for Moscoso administration dignitaries.
