 MIGUEL GRAU

Miguel María Grau Seminario was a Peruvian military sailor and politician, and posthumous Grand

Admiral of the Peruvian Navy, he was born on July 27, 1834 in Piura. Passionate about the sea

since he was a child, he showed a brilliant military career in the Navy and became a deputy and

posthumous grand admiral of the Peruvian Navy. His strategic skills, as well as his loyalty and

heroism, shone particularly in the War of the Pacific (1879-1883), which pitted Peru and Bolivia

against Chile. In 1875 he was elected deputy for the province of Paita, for the Civil Party, a

parliamentary position that he held temporarily to serve in the General Command of the Navy,

between 1877 and 1878. When the War of the Pacific broke out, on April 5, 1879, Grau returned to

command of the Huáscar, on October 8, 1879, in front of Punta Angamos, the Huáscar was

surrounded by two enemy divisions, engaging in unequal combat. Grau died in the first minutes of

the combat, from the effects of a grenade fired by the battleship Cochrane, which destroyed his

body at the age of 45. Miguel Grau went on to immortality as a strategic and brave but generous

sailor. His last sentence was: "No one gives up on this ship."
