Section entitled Grau el Marino Eponimo del Pery pro Fernando Romero starts at page 29 and goes to page 68. From Wikipedia: Miguel María Grau Seminario was a renowned Peruvian naval officer and hero of the Naval Battle of Angamos during the War of the Pacific 1879-1884. He was known as the el Caballero de los Mares Spanish for "Gentleman of the Seas" for his chivalry and is esteemed by both Peruvians and Chileans. He is an iconic figure for the Peruvian Navy and one of the most famous merchant marine and naval military leaders of America. His mother Luisa Seminario y del Castillo motivated Grau to love the sea from his youth. He entered the Paita Nautical School. He first went to sea when he was nine years old going to Fortune Colombia aboard a merchant schooner. Grau later went on various merchant ships to ports in Oceania Asia America and Europe. In 1853 at the age of 19 he left the merchant marine and became an officer candidate of the Peruvian Navy where he developed an outstanding professional reputation. In 1854 he was Military officer of the steamer Rimac. His career was rapid and brilliant. In 1863 he was promoted a year later. In 1864 he was sent to Europe to oversee the construction of ships for the Peruvian fleet. Upon his return Chile and Peru joined together in a bi-national fleet against Spanish attempts to reclaim their American colonies. In 1868 he was recalled to the Navy and was named commander of the Huáscar with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. By June 1 1874 he became the commanding officer of the Peruvian Navy's fleet and later became a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru as an elected congressman in 1876 representing Paita. the War of the Pacific against Chile began on 5 April 1879 Miguel Grau was aboard the Huáscar as its captain and the Commander of the Navy. Capitán Grau played an important role by interdicting Chilean lines of communication and supply damaging capturing or destroying several enemy vessels and bombarding port installations. Grau's Huáscar became famed for moving stealthily striking by surprise and then disappearing. These actions put off a Chilean invasion by sea for six months. At the Battle of Iquique after Huáscar sank the Chilean corvette Esmeralda by ramming her Grau ordered the rescue of the surviving crew from the waters. Grau also wrote condolences to the widow of his opponent Arturo Prat returning his sword and personal effects. At the port of Antofagasta after sneaking up on an enemy ship he courteously asked the crew to abandon ship before opening fire. These and other gestures earned him the nickname of el Caballero de los Mares "Gentleman of the Seas" from his Chilean opponents acknowledging an extraordinary sense of chivalry and his gentlemanly behavior combined with his highly-efficient and brave combat career. Almirante Grau was killed by an armor-piercing shell during the Naval Battle of Angamos on 8 October 1879. Huáscar was captured by the Chileans after incurring severe casualties in the close-range artillery duel. Although most of Grau's body was not recovered his remains were buried with military honours in Chile which were returned to Peru in 1958. For many years after his death his name was called in a ceremonial roll-call of the Peruvian Navy. His final resting place lies at the Escuela Militar Naval del Peru in El Callao in an underground mausoleum. He posthumously received the rank of Gran Almirante del Perú Grand Admiral of Peru in 1967 by order of the Peruvian Congress. A portrait of Almirante Grau is on display in the museum ship Huáscar. In the year 2000 Miguel Grau was recognized as the "Peruvian of the Millennium" by popular vote. Secretaría del Ministro de Marina hardcover

réf. PA40Oblong Quarto ca. 21x29 cm. 20 card stock leaves 2 blank.

All but three photos are captioned and/or dated in ink on the margins. Period black faux leather covers fastened with a string gilt lettered title “Photographs” on the front cover. One photo with the right lower corner torn off two small photos removed from the album by previous owners but overall a very good album with interesting photos. Interesting collection of lively original snapshot photos taken by an American traveller to Peru who left New York in March 1920 and went to Lima on board the“Santa Luisa” steamship via the Panama Canal; he stayed in Lima for about two months returning to New York on the same steamer in July 1920. The trip apparently had commercial purposes and there is reason to connect the traveller with the New York-based “Grace & Co.” a major maritime steamship company in Peru and a founder of the “Panagro” airline which connected the United States with the west coast of South America in 1928. The album contains over a dozen portraits of the compiler’s companions on board the “Santa Luisa” which belonged to the “Grace & Co.” and the same people in Lima with three photographed at their office desks.
