After visiting the Museo Antropológico Martin Gusinde and studying the case of arrowheads, punzón, and stone knives, Tormentina was convinced that some of the objects she found along the shore of the Beagle and Seno Lauta are Yahgan artifacts. She took her stone knife and bone to the museum this week so they could be analyzed by the lab.

stirling house - 1869 prefab

The Stirling house is now part of the "Stirling Pavillion" at the Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum of Puerto Williams. The building is a pre-fab, planned structure made of cast iron by the Iron Works of Mr. Hemming & Co., Old Ford, in 1869 for the South American Mission Society.

The unassembled parts were shipped first to Port Stanley (Falkland Islands), then to Tierra del Fuego where it was constructed in Ushuaia and used as a missionary residence. Between 1871 and 1907 it was moved various times by the missions - to Bailey Island, then Tekenika Bay on Hoste Island, and finally to Douglas Bay on Navarino Island.

After 1916 when the missions were closed, the house was then used by various residents. Declared a national Chilean monument in 2003, the building was then moved in 2004 by sea from Douglas Bay to Puerto Williams, reassembled on the museum grounds and is now open to the public.
