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

Grand Admiral of the Peruvian Navy, born on July 27, 1834 in Piura. Miguel Grau always

traveled on a ship, but the ship disappeared in the naval combat at Punta Gorda. Some time

later he won the naval combat of Iquique, sinking the corvette Esmeralda. This was the first

time that Grau showed his great human sensitivity, since he not only avoided harming the

civilian population, but also saved the shipwrecked of the enemy ship. Finally, another

important event in Grau was the fight at Angamos. It was so that on October 8, 1879, facing

Punta Angamos, he was surrounded by two enemy divisions, engaging in unequal combat.

Grau died in the first minutes of the combat, due to the effects of a grenade fired by the

battleship Cochrane, which destroyed his body.

His last sentence was:

"No one gives up on this ship."
