Portuguese gunboat Pátria
Gunboat of the Portuguese Navy
Pátria was a gunboat in the Portuguese Navy launched in 1903 at Lisbon. She was acquired with the funds of the Great National Subscription shortly after the 1890 British Ultimatum. In 1905 she left for the Naval Division of Angola and in the same year she made a trip to Brazil. In 1908 she left for the Macau Naval Station, and did a long service. She took part in the suppression of the Timor revolt in 1912. In 1930, she was ordered to disarm and passed to the state of complete disarmament the following year, in Macau.[1] She was sold to China in 1931.[2]
