The SS Corregidor
Model and render: Kathryna Alejandro

Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the sinking of the SS Corregidor. In the early hours of December 17, 1941, the SS Corregidor struck a mine as it navigated its way out of Manila Bay’s minefields. The ship, overloaded with people trying to leave Manila for the provinces at the start of World War 2 in the Philippines, sunk with great loss of life.

Through researching available materials, Kathryna Alejandro of Renacimiento has recreated the SS Corregidor. In time with the anniversary of the disaster, we are posting here the 3D model. Additionally, Kathryna Alejandro has also recreated the sinking of the SS Corregidor, which will be posted later as the second part of this special series.
