Background
About the ship
In an attempt to rebuild and reinforce its fleet after the revolution of 1889 and the mutinies of the 1890s, Brazil ordered a series of armored cruisers from Armstrong. However, due to financial difficulties, only one ship actually entered the Brazilian Navy—Almirante Barroso, transferred in 1897. She was the first ship in the country equipped with a radiotelegraph. Almirante Barroso served with the Brazilian Navy until 1931, representing Brazil in Argentina and Chile.
