"Lasserre, the Lighthouse at the End of the World, and Ushuaia"
"Boundary Treaty Argentina-Chile (1881)" In 1881, Argentina and Chile signed a boundary treaty to set their frontiers.
But, in order to claim sovereignty and populate distant land,
...Argentina needed to secure sailing conditions to Tierra del Fuego.
In 1882 the Argentine Austral Expedition with Luis Piedrabuena and Giacomo Bove
sailed the south seas on the corvette Cabo de Hornos.
In that expeditión they made studies
to find out where to put lighthouses.
The End of the World Lighthouse and St. John Rescue Station.
The aim was safer sailing in the waters of Isla de los Estados.
It should stop being a "shipwreck area."
A light there would facilitate sailing to the feared Cape Horn.
In 1883, President Roca orders the opening of subprefectures.
Isla de los Estados and Tierra del Fuego were chosen.
So, before the foundation of Ushuaia, we occupied Isla de los Estados.
And the Lighthouse at St. John Rescue Station was set up.
Better known as 'The Lighthouse at the End of the World'.
A year later, the South Atlantic Expeditionary Division...
...arrived on Isla de los Estados under the command of Cdre. Augusto Lasserre.
On May 25, 1884, Lasserre inaugurated the lighthouse.
Situated at St. John, it included a subprefecture and a rescue station.
He also organized and made official the rescue station for shipwrecks...
...on Isla de los Estados, which Piedrabuena had created.
The foundation of Ushuaia.
In September 1884, the South Atlantic Division arrives in Ushuaia.
Under Lasserre and with 20 men, they arrived aboard the gunboat Paraná.
"Until then, Ushuaia was a village with 300 inhabitants,
...most of them English and Yaghan."
The main activity in Ushuaia was the Anglican mission.
It was in charge of the English superintendent Rev. Thomas Bridges.
The missionaries wanted to civilize natives and teach them their religion.
Most maps of the time lacked the name Ushuaia.
But many documents showed Oshovia, Ooshovia, Ushuivia, or Usciunaia.
Missionaries and occasional visitors used either of these names.
On October 12, 1884, Lasserre created the Subprefecture of Ushuaia.
This date would later be defined as the Foundation of Ushuaia.
On that day, he lowered the British flag and hoisted the Argentine flag...
...where the mission monolith is now.
Later on, a national decree, declared Ushuaia the capital of Tierra del Fuego.
And Felix Paz was named Governor.
After the foundation of Ushuaia, Bridges put an end to his mission.
Then he set up the Harberton ranch on land the Argentine government...
...granted him in gratitude for his years working for natives and wreckers.
Apart from the foundation of subprefectures and the lighthouse,
...Lasserre built some houses and left 20 people to live in Ushuaia.
"So Ushuaia turned into the first and only Argentine colony...
...founded to consolidate sovereignty in the southernmost part of the world."
One of those first inhabitants was Luis Fique, the first Argentinian...
...to settle down and open one of the first general stores.
He named it "The First Argentinian."
But that's another story.
