Tetuán

From Warlike




Tetuán was a Spanish Navy armored frigate commissioned in 1866. She was the first ironclad warship constructed in a Spanish shipyard. She took part on the rebel side in the Glorious Revolution of 1868. She was captured by Cantonalist forces during the Cantonal Rebellion in 1873 and participated in the Battle of Portmán, fighting on the side of the Canton of Cartagena. While under repair after the battle, she was destroyed by fire in December 1873.
