HISTORICAL NOTE: The Brazilian monitor Alagoas was the third ship of the Par-class river monitors built for the Brazilian Navy during the Paraguayan War in the late 1860s. Alagoas participated in the Passagem de Humait in February 1868 and provided fire support for the army for the rest of the war. The ship was assigned to the Upper Uruguay (Portuguese: Alto Uruguai) Flotilla after the war. Alagoas was transferred to Rio de Janeiro in the 1890s and participated in the Fleet Revolt of 189394. The ship wasscrapped in 1900.

Alagoas was placed in the Navy Arsenal of the Court, in Rio de Janeiro on 8 December 1866, during the Paraguayan War, which saw Argentina and Brazil allied against Paraguay. She was launched on 29 October 1867 and completed in November 1867. She arrived on the Paran River in January 1868, although her passage further north was barred by the Paraguayan fortifications at Humait. On 19 February 1868, six Brazilian ironclads, including Alagoas, steamed past Humait at night. Alagoas and her two sister ships,Rio Grande and Par were lashed to the larger ironclads in case any engines were disabled by the Paraguayan guns.Barroso led with Rio Grande, followed by Bahia with Alagoas and Tamandar with Par. The cable tying Alagoas to Bahia was severed by Paraguayan shells and the monitor drifted down below the guns. The commander of the Alagoas was ordered not to attempt to pass the guns during daylight, but disregarded this order and successfully rendezvoused with the rest of the squadron upstream of the fortifications. Both Alagoas, which had taken an estimated 200 hits, and Par had to be beached after passing the fortress to prevent them from sinking. Alagoas was under repair at So Jos do Cerrito until mid-March. Accompanied by Tamandar, Alagoas bombarded and destroyed the Paraguayan artillery battery at Timb, upstream of Humanit, on 23 March. The monitor bombarded artillery positions defending theTebicuary Riverin July and again in August. On 15 October she bombarded Angostura Fort, south of Asuncin, in company with Brasil, Silvado, Par and her sisterCear.
