Frigate "La Argentina"
The Spanish frigate "Consecuencia" and "La Candelaria" had party of Cadiz on October 11, 1815. Both were carrying an important cargo destined for the realistic positions on the Pacific coast. But the destination was very different: to reach the coasts of present-day Peru, both ships were captured by the frigates "Hercules" and "Halcón" under the command of William Brown, in the service of the new patriot government established in Buenos Aires.
The "Consecuencia" name was changed to "Argentina", ship which is subsequently made famous on starring in a remarkable journey of two years at the helm of Hipólito Bouchard, which harassed permanently to the spanish power throughout the Pacific ocean, enabling its weakening and the consequent release sudamericana.

Re: Frigate "La Argentina"
A truly stunning painting and worth of hanging in a museum as a reminder of our hertage and history. Wonderful details set against a rare sky execution. Bravo.
