The Museu do Naufrágio, under the care of Daniel Rian, is a treasure preserved on Praia dos Ingleses in Florianópolis. This unique museum houses artifacts from a 17th-century Spanish vessel that sank in 1687 after being plundered by English pirates in Peru.

Visitors can explore exhibits featuring salvaged artifacts, historical narratives, and interactive displays that bring to life the stories of those who ventured into these waters. Knowledgeable staff often provide guided tours, offering deeper insights into the significance of each artifact.
