Serra do Navio (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsɛʁɐ du naˈviw]), (Mountain range of the Ship) is a municipality located in the center of the state of Amapá in Brazil.
The Amapá Railway, and two towns for the workers were constructed: Serra do Navio and Vila Amazonas near Santana where a harbour was built.
[6] During the 1980s, the mine produced about 1,000,000 tons of ore,[7] however Bethlehem Steel wanted to end the cooperation, because the deposits were being exhausted.
[3] The closing of the main mine, led to a steep decrease in population, and the appearance of a ghost town.
[8] The municipality contains 7.83% of the 2,369,400 hectares (5,855,000 acres) Amapá State Forest, a sustainable use conservation unit established in 2006.
