==Sobral Santos II disaster==
Óbidos was the scene of the sinking of the Sobral Santos II in September 1981, one of the worst maritime tragedies in the history of the Amazon River. The riverboat was making its weekly trip between Santarém and Manaus and was claimed to be overcrowded when it sank in Óbidos harbour.〔(300 DIE AS AMAZON BOAT SINKS ) - New York Times〕 It is assumed over 300 people died in the disaster, with hundreds of bodies and body parts never identified. In 2014, British angler Jeremy Wade went to Óbidos to investigate the role that local fish species may have played in the loss of life during this disaster; his findings were documented in the ''River Monsters'' episode entitled "Amazon Apocalypse." 〔(‘River Monsters’ uncovers tale of deadly Amazon fish attack ) - New York Post〕
