The Battle of Jaguarí was a naval confrontation in the Paraguayan War between Brazilian and Paraguayan flotillas, which took place on March 23, 1866 at the mouth of the Jaguari River, Paraná River. At the time, aboard the Cisnei steam, were Admiral Tamandaré, Generals Osório, Miter and Flores. The ship was escorted by battleship Tamandaré, cannoneers Beberibe and Henrique Martins, and were on a reconnaissance mission on the Paraná River to the mouth of Jaguari. However, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the Paraguayan steam Gualeguai and a towed boat found the Brazilian flotilla in Jaguari and immediately started bombing them, without causing damage to them. Only Tamandaré ran aground on the island of Itapiru. Despite the confrontation, the region's recognition proved to be useful to the allies, as the future location for the landing of the triple alliance troops that would initiate the invasion of Paraguayan territory was defined.[1]
