New Brazilian Gun-Boat Fleet, 1858. Creator: Unknown
New Brazilian Gun-Boat Fleet, 1858. During the last few months some of our most eminent shipbuilders have been employed in the construction of a fleet of powerful gunboats for the Government of the Brazils...The vessel [in the sketch] is the Araguary, one of those built by Messrs. Pitcher of Northfleet, from designs by Mr. Maxwell. In the trial trip of two of their vessels, before leaving, they averaged a speed of nine knots per hour; and the vessel above mentioned, when deeply laden with ordnance and other stores, accomplished 8½ knots per hour...[it carries] two 68-pounder and four 32-pounder guns...[is of 80-horse power and has] been built under the direct superintendence of his Excellency the Vice-Admiral Marquis Lisboa'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
