Summary

Description
Español: El monitor Huáscar es un buque de guerra del siglo XIX de destacada participación en la Guerra del guano y del salitre. Fue construido en el Reino Unido en 1864 por orden del gobierno peruano y sirvió en la Marina de Guerra del Perú hasta el 8 de octubre de 1879, día en que fue capturado por la escuadra chilena en el combate naval de Angamos. El Huáscar sirvió activamente en la Armada de Chile hasta 1897, año en que sufrió una explosión de caldera frente a la playa de Viña del Mar, y posteriormente fue dado de baja en 1901. De 1917 a 1924 sirvió de nuevo como buque madre de la flota de submarinos de Chile. Fue restaurado a su estado histórico en 1951/52. Actualmente sirve como museo flotante en el puerto chileno de Talcahuano. Es una de las pocas naves de guerra de su época que aún permanece a flote.
