Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYNCH, PATRICIO (18251886) Chilean naval officer, was born in Valparaiso on the 18th of December 1825, his father being a wealthy Irish merchant
resident
  in Chile, and his
mother
 , Carmen
Solo
  de Saldiva, a descendant of one of the best-known families in the country. Entering the navy in 1837, he took
part
  in the operations which led to the fall of the dictator, Santa Cruz. Next, he sought a wider field, and saw active service in the
China
  War on board the British frigate " Calliope." He was mentioned in despatches for bravery, and received the grade of midshipman in the British service. Returning to Chile in 1847 he became
lieutenant
 , and seven years later he received the command of a frigate, but was deprived of his command for refusing to receive on board his ship political suspects under arrest. The Spanish War saw him again employed, and he was successively maritime prefect of Valparaiso, colonel of National
Guards
 , and, finally, captain. and minister of marine in 1872. In the Chile-Peruvian War a brilliant and destructive naval raid, led by him, was
followed by the final campaign of Chorrillos and Miraflores (188o), in which he led at first a brigade (as colonel) and afterwards a division under Baquedano. His services at the battle of Chorrillos led to his appointment to command the Army of Occupation in Peru. This difficult post he filled with success, but his action in putting the Peruvian president, Garcia Calderon, under arrest excited considerable comment. His last act was to invest Iglesias with supreme power in Peru, and he returned to his own country in 1883. Promoted
rear
 -
admiral
 , he served as Chilean Minister at Madrid for two years, and died at sea in 1886.
Lynch
  is remembered as one of the foremost of Chile's naval heroes.
