CS Almirante Cochrane (1874)

CS Almirante Cochrane (1874) History

The Almirante Cochrane was a Chilean warship of the turn of the century. The ship was used by Chile against the Peruvian army and was highly regarded for its weapons (6 x 8.2 inch guns) and armor protection. The system deployed 300 sailors and operated using a horizontal twin-shaft compound engine and sails on three main masts. The ship survived into the early to mid-1930s before being dismantled.

Before that, the ship was used to train Chilean naval personnel.

Almirante Cochrane's sister ship is the Blanco Encalada. The Blanco Encalada was the first known ship to be sunk by a modern torpedo. Almirante Cochrane is named after Thomas Lord Cochrane, a British naval officer who led various parts of the Chilean Navy in Chile's struggle for independence.
