Adamastor was an unprotected cruiser of the Portuguese Navy commissioned in 1897. Adamastor undertook numerous overseas deployments to Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia. She made goodwill and training cruises, including visits to Brazil and the Far East, reflecting Portugal’s global maritime connections. Her most politically significant moment occurred during the Republican revolution of 5 October 1910. The ship’s crew sided with the revolutionaries and Adamastor participated in the bombardment of the royal palace at Necessidades. Adamastor was decommissioned in 1933 and subsequently scrapped.
