ARA Gaviota-1827

Page history last edited by PBworks 15 years, 5 months ago

“Gaviota” (primera nave de ese nombre). Indianman (navío de las Indias)/fragata(FLy-FLyn) corsario, armado por el propio Estado. Armamento de 10 cañones de a 18 libras. 700 toneladas, eslora de 55 metros, manga de 7 metros, puntal de 7,5 metros, calado medio de 5,1 metros. Tripulación de 80 hombres (“insuficiente para la maniobra del velamen y atención de la artillería de un buque de su porte”. Construido en Brasil, se llamaba “Condeza da Ponte” y fue capturado a los brasileños en enero de 1827 por el bergantín corsario “Oriental Argentino”, que lo remitió a Patagones. Se decidió alistarlo como corsario y a tal fin se lo alistó en San Blas, pero se trataba de una nave demasiado grande (el corsario argentino de mayor tonelaje en esta guerra), apta para el comercio pero no para perseguir las goletas y bergantines que hacían el comercio de cabotaje no para combatir con naves de guerra. Su armador era Severino Prudent. Zarpó de Patagones el 23 de octubre de 1827 (tras un intento frustrado por el viento contrario de zarpar de San Blas el 19 del mismo mes) y operó frente al Brasil bajo el mando del comandante Pedro Dautant (francés). FLy en la entrada correspondiente al 29 de marzo de 1828 señala que naves de guerra brasileñas estaban persiguiendo a la “Gaviota” por las costas del Brasil. En abril de 1828 se encontró con la “Juncal” de César Fournier en las Antillas (HMA5 señala que ese encuentro ocurrió en San Bartolomé el 1º de marzo de ese año). En 1828 apresó y remitió a Patagones la barca inglesa “Helvellyn”, en viaje de Hamburgo a Rio de Janeiro, que fue declarada mala presa y devuelta a su capitán. LPM reproduce la parte resolutiva de dicha sentencia, firmada por Jacinto Cárdenas: "Resultando de los documentos presentados ser Bertran Le Breton y Cía. consignatarios de la barca inglesa "Helvellyn", detenida indebidamente por el corsario nacional "Gaviota", hágaseles la respectiva entrega así de la barca como de su cargamento, librándose el competente despacho al Comandante de Patagones, advirtiéndole sus protestas y reservas en cuanto ha lugar en derecho". El "Gaviota" no regresó al país (FLy y FLyn señalan que pudo haberse reunido en junio de 1828 o algo después con las anves de Fournier, como puede verse en la historia de la quinta “25 de Mayo”). Ar presume que fue hundido en combate con el vapor de guerra (sic) brasileño “Maria Isabel” a mediados de 1828. Sin embargo, una búsqueda en www.naviosdeguerrabrasileiros.hpg.br/, página de internet relativamente completa y con fuentes adecuadas sobre las unidades de guerra brasileñas, no permite encontrar ningún vapor con ese nombre. La única “Maria Isabel” en servicio era una corbeta de origen estadounidense (segunda nave de ese nombre en dicha marina), anteriormente llamada “Robert Fulton”, comprada el 18 de octubre de 1827, rebautizada “Regenaraçao” en 1831 y dada de baja en 1839 en Pará, armada con 28 culebrinas de a 18 libras. Dado que en enero de 1828 esa nave habría combatido contra un corsario argentino, el “Níger” (y fuentes argentinas le atribuyen otros encuentros con corsarios rioplatenses), no puede descartarse que también haya confrontado al infeliz “Gaviota”. La marina brasileña tenía efectivamente en servicio algunos vapores (“Correio Brasileiro” y “Correo Imperial”), que según fuentes argentinas también tuvieron enfrentamientos con corsarios rioplatenses.

\"Seagull\" (the first ship of that name). Indianman (ship of the Indies) / frigate (Fly-FLyn) privateer, armed by the State itself. Armament of 10 guns and 18 pounds. 700 tons of 55 meters in length, width of 7 meters, a cornerstone of 7.5 meters, 5.1 meters draft average. Crew of 80 men ( \"insufficient to maneuver the sail and care of the artillery of a ship carrying her.\" Built in Brazil, was called \"Condeza da Ponte\" and was captured in the Brazilians January 1827 by the privateer brig \"Oriental Argentino\", which referred it to Patagones. It was decided to enlist as privateer and to this end he enlisted in San Blas, but it was too big a ship (the largest tonnage of Argentine privateer in this war), suitable for trade but not to prosecute and schooners that made the bergantines cabotage trade not to fight with warships. Its owner was Severino Prudent. Patagones sailed from the October 23 1827 (after an unsuccessful attempt by the headwind of San Blas set sail on 19 March) compared to Brazil and operated under the command of Commander Pedro Dautant (French). Fly in the entry for March 29 of 1828 states that warships were chasing the Brazilian \"Seagull\" by the shores of Brazil. In April 1828 he encountered the \"Juncal\" Caesar Fournier in the West Indies (HMA5 said that the meeting took place at St. Bartholomew March 1 of thatyear). In 1828 it catched and it sent to Patagones the English boat “Helvellyn”, in trip from Hamburg to Rio de Janeiro, that was declared bad prey and given back to its captain. LPM reproduces the decisive part of this sentence, signed by Jacinth Cardinal red: " Turning out from presented/displayed documents to be Bertran Him Breton and company. consignataries of the English boat " Helvellyn" , illegally stopped by the national privateer " Gaviota" , hágaseles the respective delivery that the boat like of his shipment, getting rid the competent office to the Commander of Patagones, warning to him its protests and reserves as soon as is place in derecho". " Gaviota" it did not return to the country (FLy and FLyn indicate that it could later have reunited in June of 1828 or something with anves of Fournier, as it can be seen in the history of villa “25 of May”). Ar is conceited that Brazilian “Maria Isabel” in the middle of 1828 was sunk in combat with the steam military (sic). Nevertheless, a search in www.naviosdeguerrabrasileiros.hpg.br/, page of relatively complete Internet and with sources adapted on the Brazilian units military, does not allow to find any steam with that name. The unique “Maria Isabel” in good condition was a corvette of American origin (second ship of that name in this navy), previously call “Robert Fulton”, bought the 18 of October of 1827, red-baptize “given Regenaraçao” in 1831 and of loss in 1839 in For, armed with 28 culverins of a 18 pounds. Since in January of 1828 that ship it would have fought against an Argentine privateer, “Niger” (and Argentine sources they attribute other encounter to him with River plate privateers), cannot discard that also it has confronted the unfortunate “Gull”. Brazilian navy indeed had in good condition some steam (“Correio Brasileiro” and “Imperial Mail”), that according to Argentine sources also had confrontations with River plate privateers.
