 MIGUEL GRAU SEMINARIO
Miguel María Grau Seminario, was a Peruvian military sailor
and politician, and posthumous Grand Admiral of the
Peruvian Navy, born on July 27, 1834 in Piura. Miguel Grau
always traveled in a ship, but the ship disappeared in the
naval combat of Punta Gorda. Some time later, he won the
naval combat of Iquique, sinking the corvette, Esmeralda.
This was the first occasion in which Grau showed his great
human sensibility, since he not only avoided harming the
civilian population, but also saved the shipwrecked sailors of
the enemy ship. Finally, another important act of Grau was
the combat of Angamos. This it was that on October 8, 1879,
being in front of Punta Angamos, he was surrounded by two
enemy divisions, engaging in an unequal combat. Grau died in
the first minutes of the fight, due to the effects of a
grenade fired by the battleship Cochrane, which destroyed
his body.
His last sentence was:
"No one gives up on this ship"
