“It is highly gratifying to witness, through the decades, a visualized, very specific enterprise, invisible to all that are unfamiliar with the sea, but specially invisible due to the fact that it specializes in those key parts of the shipbuilding industry that are literally under water, far from everyone's view, but without which one could not even begin to understand how boats move,” said Calderon. |
“There is no other path leading to the realization of human beings

even keel against adversity.”
