n September of 1648 the Dutch East
India ship, the Utrecht, was sunk
during an engagement with the
Portuguese ship, Nossa Senhora Do Rosario, off
the coast of Brazil. The Utrecht and another
Dutch ship, the Huys Nassau, attacked the
Rosario in an attempt to board and capture it.
The captain of the Rosario, following orders
not to allow his vessel to fall into enemy hands,
blew up his ship. The explosion also sank the
Utrecht and damaged the Nassau.
