Óbidos, Pará, in Brazil, was the scene of the sinking of Sobral Santos II in September 1981, one of the worst maritime tragedies in the history of the Amazon River. The riverboat was making its weekly trip between Santarém and Manaus and was claimed to be overcrowded when it sank in Óbidos harbour.[4] It is assumed over 300 people died in the disaster, with hundreds of bodies and body parts never identified.
