Photographer’s Note
Monitor Huáscar, a Memorial Ship anchored at Talcahuano Navy Base. Built in England in 1864 for the Peruvian Navy. Captured in 1879 by Chilean Navy during the War of the Pacific. The Huáscar is one of the few early ironclad era warships to survive, and one of the only ones still afloat. The Huáscar remains highly regarded in both Peru and Chile, being considered as the tomb of the Chilean Captains, Arturo Prat and Manuel Thompson, and the Peruvian admiral Miguel Grau.

Hi Jorge,
A rare sight of a steel ship from the era when sail ships ruled the seas. Long and slim appearance is very stylish. Yellow masts and chimney are excellent highlight details.

Jorge, WOW what a fantastic shot, perfect for TE and wonderfully photographed. I would like to see a bunch of close up details but until then I'll be happy with this one. Great capture.

Hello Jorge,
An interesting old steamer!
Good point of view to show the details of the vessel, I guess not many almost 150 years old warships still are afloat...
Good light, colours are well reproduced!
Greetings,
