Talk:Carlos Fitzcarrald

'Contamana' is not the ship Fitzcarrald drowned in: it was the Adolfito.
"He died at age 35 together with his Bolivian business partner Antonio de Vaca Díez when their ship Contamana sank in the Urubamba in an accident." According to Valerie Fifer in 'The Empire Builders: A History of the Bolivian Rubber Boom and the Rise of the House of Suarez' page 133, they drowned in the small steam launch 'Adolfito.'

Some of the indigenous groups exploited by Fitzcarrald include Asháninka, Piro, and Harakmbut natives. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  02:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

From "In the Madre de Dios River basin"
The Harakmbut were also affected by other enterprises during the rubber boom, and anthropologist Andrew Gray estimated that between 1894-1914 ninety-five percent of the Harakmbut demographic perished. }}  Baffle☿gab  22:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

From "Legacy"
The Sociedad Geográfica de Lima provided two accounts regarding this incident, one of these accounts stated that Yaminaguas natives had ambushed Delfín's group. The other account claimed that "civilized people" disguised as the local natives had carried out the attack. Fitzcarrald's biographer, Ernesto Reyna, stated that natives in the area were harshly punished in retaliation for Delfín's death.

There was suspicion from José Cardoso da Rosa and Edelmira Fitzcarrald towards Leopoldo Collazos and Carlos Scharff regarding the death of Delfín.  Baffle☿gab  01:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
