The Manduvirá River Expeditions were the final operations of the Imperial Brazilian Navy carried out on the Paraguayan War. The goal of the imperial fleet was to carry out explorations along the river and its streams, with the aim of capturing or destroying the remaining ships of the Paraguayan armada that had taken refuge. The Brazilian fleet was composed of eighteen ships, including battleships, monitors, gunboats and steamboats while the Paraguayan fleet had about a dozen steamers. A total of three expeditions were carried out, which proved to be extremely dangerous for Brazilian ships due to the sinuosity of the river and the blockades created by the Paraguayans.

  • The Manduvirá River Expeditions were the final operations of the Imperial Brazilian Navy carried out on the Paraguayan War. The goal of the imperial fleet was to carry out explorations along the river and its streams, with the aim of capturing or destroying the remaining ships of the Paraguayan armada that had taken refuge. The Brazilian fleet was composed of eighteen ships, including battleships, monitors, gunboats and steamboats while the Paraguayan fleet had about a dozen steamers. A total of three expeditions were carried out, which proved to be extremely dangerous for Brazilian ships due to the sinuosity of the river and the blockades created by the Paraguayans. The ships encountered obstructions made of logs from the hulls of sunken ships, large piled trees, canoes, iron chains and carts loaded with stones created to delay the pursuit. Due to the narrowness of the river, ships sometimes had to turn astern, given the impossibility of turning and heading. In the second expedition, considered the most violent, the Brazilian fleet had to face a garrison of 1,100 men at Passo Guarayo, a very well fortified place. The expeditions, which began in January 1869 and ended in August of the same year, were responsible for the annihilation of the Paraguayan Navy. In the 1970s, a museum was created on the site where some ships that were recovered from Manduvirá are preserved. (en)
  • As expedições no Rio Manduvirá foram as últimas operações que a Marinha Imperial Brasileira realizou na Guerra do Paraguai. A frota imperial tinha como missão realizar explorações ao longo do rio e seus arroios, com o intuito de capturar ou destruir os navios remanescentes da armada paraguaia que haviam se refugiado. A esquadra brasileira era composta por dezoito navios entre encouraçados, monitores, canhoneiras e lanchas a vapor, enquanto a frota paraguaia possuía cerca de uma dezena de vapores. Foram realizadas o total de três expedições que se revelaram extremamente perigosas para os navios brasileiros pela sinuosidade do rio e pelos bloqueios criados pelos paraguaios. Diversas vezes os navios encontraram obstruções feitas de madeiros de cascos dos navios afundados, grandes árvores empilhadas, canoas, correntes de ferro, carretas carregadas de pedras, criadas para atrasar a perseguição. Devido ao rio ser estreito, às vezes os navios tinha de voltar de popa, dada a impossibilidade de curvar e aproar. Na segunda expedição, considerada a mais violenta, a armada brasileira teve de enfrentar uma guarnição de 1 100 homens no Passo Guarayo, local muito bem fortificado. As expedições, que se iniciaram em janeiro de 1869 e terminaram em agosto do mesmo ano, foram responsáveis pelo aniquilamento da marinha paraguaia. Na década de 1970, foi criado no local um museu onde estão preservados alguns navios que foram recuperados do Manduvirá. (pt)
