EXPLORER MAGAZIN:

Welcome to the special webpage American Star by the Explorer Magazin!

As acknowledged by many readers, the Explorer Magazin has become a true source of information for everybody taking a closer look at the wreck on Fuerteventura´s west coast.

As a result, we decided to gather the most important reports about the legendary ship from our magazine on a special webpage.

We thank all our friends of the American Star contributing to the further expansion of this page - especially the ship´s "unofficial historian", Bill Lee, as well as Britta Schaa who is in charge of building the English version of this webpage.

Enjoy plenty of fascinating information and enjoy yourselves.
