HOLIDAY IN PERU
Remembering The Battle Of Angamos
"during the war between Peru and Chile"
The Battle of Angamos (Combate naval de Angamos)
was fought on October 8, 1879, during the naval stage of the War of the Pacific (Guerra del Pacifico). The Chilean Navy, commanded by Captain Galvarino Riveros and Captain Juan Jose Latorre surrounded and captured the ironclad Huascar, commanded by Rear Admiral Miguel Grau Seminario, who died in combat. After the battle, the crippled Peruvian Navy was unable to prevent the invasion of its territory. The Huascar was repaired and served under the Chilean flag until its decommission, and now sits as a floating museum in the port of Talcahuano.*
