Abstract

The Viscount of Inhaúma is one of the most widely known characters in the Brazilian Navy; however, only two major works are known to having been published about him. If little has been written about Inhaúma, even less was written of his stay as Navy Minister. Therefore, this paper discusses this time in the life of so relevant a character in the Navy and intends to show the challenges he faced, as well as his ideas as a Minister.
