View of Arica, Peru, 1865. As the seaport town of Arica, near the southern extremity of Peru, was lately the head-quarters and base of operations of the revolutionary faction in that distracted Republic, we give [a view of the place, from a sketch] by Mr. F. E. Wilmot...of H.M.S. Shearwater, when lying in that harbour of the Pacific coast. [It shows]...the port, with its fortifications on the top of the cliff named the Morro Arica, and with a couple of the rebel ships and the British man-of-war in the port at anchor - namely, the Tombez gun-boat on the right, the Shearwater on the left, and the General Azundi in the centre. The Morro Arica is about 490 ft. high, a bold-looking cliff, making a noble contrast with the dull sandy hills in the background. The fort at the top is built of sand-bags, and its armament consists of ten 32-pounder guns, with one antiquated-looking gun which was raised from the wreck of a Spanish ship some twenty or thirty years ago, and has stood on the top of the hill since that time.
