National Maritime Museum of Chile [ENG|ESP]
For anyone who has seen Chile's geographical location on a map, it's obvious that it's a country with a rich naval tradition. The history of this South American nation is replete with episodes and figures connected to the seas. From the Portuguese explorer Fernando de Magallanes to national heroes of independence like Arturo Prat, there are countless names, moments, scenes, ships, and stories that needed a place to house them, and they found it in this building.
Para todos aquellos que han visto la ubicación geográfica de Chile en un mapa es obvio que se trata de un país con una vasta tradición naval. La historia de este país al sur del continente americano está repleta de episodios y personajes relacionados con los mares. Desde el portugués Hernando de Magallanes hasta los héroes patrios de la independencia como Arturo Prat, hay un montón de nombres, momentos, escenas, embarcaciones e historias que necesitaban un lugar que las albergara y lo encontraron en este edificio.
As one would expect, the National Maritime Museum is located in Valparaíso, one of the most important ports in Chile and South America, making this historic center the only national museum situated outside the metropolitan region. The first thing one notices is the building itself, a structure that formerly housed the Naval Academy and is located on Artillería Hill, one of Valparaíso's most visited hills. The museum was established here in 1917, but it existed before then, as the first Chilean Navy museum was officially created on April 30th, 1915. However, instead of being housed in a building, it was located on the famous ironclad Huáscar, a national trophy of the War of the Pacific, which is currently still docked in Talcahuano, in the Biobío Region, where it also functions as a museum. The mission of this institution is to preserve and disseminate Chile's maritime heritage, which comprises more than 5,000 objects: weapons, ship models, flags, medals, figureheads, coins, uniforms, rudders, and tens of thousands of written documents, such as books and logbooks, of incalculable historical value. However, the museum's exhibitions are not limited to its permanent collections; it also hosts temporary exhibitions, usually related to painting and photography.
Como no podía ser diferente, el Museo Marítimo Nacional está ubicado en Valparaíso, uno de los puertos más importantes de Chile y de América del Sur y eso hace que este centro histórico sea el único museo de carácter nacional que está situado afuera de la región metropolitana. Lo primero que se nota es el edificio, una construcción en donde antes funcionó la Escuela Naval y que está localizado en el cerro Artillería, uno de los cerros más visitados de Valparaíso. El museo se instaló aquí en 1917, pero ya existía desde antes porque oficialmente el primer museo naval de la Armada chilena fue creado el 30 de abril de 1915, sólo que en vez de estar ubicado en un edificio, estuvo albergado en el famoso blindado Huáscar, trofeo nacional de la Guerra del Pacífico que actualmente sigue estacionado en Talcahuano, en la Región del Biobío, en donde funciona también como un museo. La misión de esta institución es conservar y difundir el patrimonio marítimo de Chile que cuenta con más de 5.000 objetos: armas, maquetas de buques, banderas, medallas, mascarones de proa, monedas, uniformes, timones, etc. y decenas de miles de documentos escritos como libros y bitácoras, de un incalculable valor testimonial. Sin embargo, las exhibiciones del museo no se limitan a sus colecciones permanentes porque también hacen exposiciones temporales, normalmente relacionadas con la pintura y la fotografía.

I've been to this museum a couple of times, and I'm always amazed at how clean and tidy it is. Right inside, you can see the various stained-glass windows that let in the sunlight and some murals on the walls. Then, in the following rooms, there are scale models of ships, ship's wheels, some paintings depicting vessels and episodes from Chilean naval history, and one of my favorite parts is a star map painted on the ceiling of one of the rooms.
He estado un par de veces en este museo y no deja de sorprenderme lo limpio y ordenado que lo mantienen siempre. Nada más entrar se pueden observar diferentes vitrales que dejan filtrar la luz del sol y algunos murales en las paredes. Luego, en las salas siguientes hay maquetas de barcos a escala, timones, algunas pinturas representando embarcaciones y episodios de la historia naval chilena y una de mis partes favoritas es un mapa de estrellas que se encuentra pintado en el techo de una de las salas.
Another thing I'd like to highlight about the museum's collection is the area dedicated to exhibiting indigenous vessels. When people think of a naval museum, they often picture sailing ships, caravels, battleships, and gunboats, but they forget that before the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, the native peoples had their own means of maritime and river transport, such as canoes, and that the naval history of these countries didn't begin with the arrival of Europe, but rather was already part of the daily lives of the tribes. In addition to being located just steps from the iconic Paseo 21 de Mayo, offering views of the ocean and Valparaíso's main port, the National Maritime Museum features several interactive and informative exhibits for children, making it a great family outing for a Saturday or Sunday. General admission is only 4,000 Chilean pesos (just over US$4), and unlike most museums in the country that close one day a week, this one is open Monday through Sunday, except for Christmas and New Year's Day. History, art, games, terraces with ocean views, stained glass, souvenirs, models, exhibits about the seas, rivers, and Antarctica, clean and tidy spaces, and a very attentive and helpful staff make the Maritime Museum one of the most enjoyable museums I've visited in the country. So when you go to Valparaíso, in addition to the Turri Clock, Sotomayor Square, Pablo Neruda's house, the Gervasoni promenade, and Concepción and Alegre hills, be sure to include this museum on your list of places to visit. How many of you have been there? Let me know in the comments.

Otra cosa que destaco de la colección del museo es que hay una área en donde se exhiben embarcaciones indígenas. Al mencionar un museo naval muchas personas piensan en veleros, carabelas, acorazados, artilleros, pero se olvidan que antes de la llegada de los europeos a América, los pueblos originarios tenían sus medios de transporte marítimos y fluviales, como las canoas, y que la historia naval de estos países no comenzó con la llegada de Europa, sino que ya existía en el día a día de las tribus.
Además de ubicarse a pocos pasos del mítico paseo 21 de Mayo desde donde se puede observar el océano y el puerto principal de Valparaíso, el Museo Marítimo Nacional cuenta con algunas salas interactivas e informativas destinadas a los más pequeños, razón por la cual es un muy buen panorama familiar para un sábado o domingo. La entrada general cuesta sólo cuatro mil pesos chilenos (poco más de 4 USD) y a diferencia dela mayoría de los museos del país que cierran un día a la semana, este lugar está abierto de Lunes a Domingo, con la excepción de Navidad y Año Nuevo. Historia, arte, juegos, terrazas con vista al mar, vitrales, souvenirs, maquetas, exhibiciones sobre los mares, ríos, la antártica, espacios limpios y ordenados, un personal muy atento y servicial, hacen del Museo Marítimo uno de los museos más agradables que he visitado en el país. Así que cuando vayan a Valparaíso, además del Reloj Turri, la plaza Sotomayor, la casa de Pablo Neruda, el paseo Gervasoni y los cerros Concepción y Alegre, incluyan también este museo en su lista de lugares a conocer, ¿cuántos de ustedes lo conocen? Los leo en los comentarios.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
