		At the outbreak of the War of the Pacific, Prat was appointed Assistant of the Navy's General Headquarters, a position Prat rejected.
		Once both were embarked on board the ironclad "Blanco" he was appointed to notify the blockade of Iquique to its authorities, an act he performed without fear notwithstanding the hostile attitude of the population.
		Prat was commissioned as Commanding Officer of the schooner "Covadonga", under repairs in Valparaiso, which he should take to Iquique.

	Battle of Iquique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This, in order to clear the seas for the Chilean Navy, whose duty would be to help the army to conquer Bolivian and Peruvian territories with troop landings and port blockades.
		Outgunned, Captain Prat may have wanted to take advantage of this by acting the part, staying close to the port itself and stationary.
		Having received these reports from the port authorities, Captain Grau was faced with the difficult prospect of firing into the Chilean ships, possibly inflicting casualties and damage among Peruvian population and infrastructure right behind, or waiting while fired at by the Chileans.

	Agustin Arturo Prat
		Soon afterward he was sent by the government on a mission to Uruguay and the Argentine Republic, but, on hearing of the war against Peru and Bolivia, returned to his country, and during April, 1879, in command of the "Covadonga," assisted in the blockade of Iquique.
		As Prat refused to obey Grau's summons to surrender, and killed the signal officer on deck, he was shot down from the turret.
		Prat's country has honored his memory by erecting a granite pyramid with his bust at Atacama in October, 1879, and bronze statues at his native town of Quirihue in 1880, and in Valparaiso, 21 May, 1886.

		In addition to commemorating Chile's "Heroes of the Iquique" with the grand central featuring Arturo Prat and a heavily guarded eternal flame, the plaza also serves a functional purpose.
		In this sketch, not only is the focus solely on the monument itself, but on the insciptions at the base of the monument, as opposed to the famous Arturo Prat.
		Arturo Prat, who is the figure at the very top of the monument, is very important in Chilean history, thought to have died heroically for his country during the 1879 war with Peru and Bolivia.
