A few hundred years ago, a ship bound for Punta Arenas, Argentina
and carrying several thousand tons of steel accidentally "missed"
and landed at Puntarenas, Costa Rica instead. (Sure hope that
captain was Union.) The nearby town of Grecia, in need of a new
church after their old one burned down, found a way to keep the
steel from going to waste by building what is believed to be the
world's only steel cathedral. Sure enough, if you pound your fist
against the side of it, it sounds like the hull of a giant ship.
