Arsenal De Marinha Do Rio De Janeiro
The Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ) is a military organization of the Brazilian Navy. It is located in Ilha das Cobras, at the Guanabara Bay, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Estabelecimento De Fundição E Estaleiros Ponta Da Areia
Estabelecimento de Fundição e Estaleiros Ponta da Areia ( en, Foundry Establishment and Shipyards Ponta da Areia) was one of the first shipbuilding industries in Brazil, having been founded by Charles Colman in 1844 and acquired in 1846 by Irineu Evangelista de Sousa, future Baron and Viscount of Mauá. History After the opening of the ports (1808), small private shipyards appeared in Brazil. With the independence of Brazil, the naval sector gradually restructured itself to cope with the growing demand for means of locomotion of cargo and passengers by river and/or sea. Until the mid-1840s, shipyards and small foundries dedicated to shipbuilding were concentrated around the Brazilian Navy arsenal and the Ponta da Areia, in Niterói. In mid 1844, the British Charles Colmann opens a small foundry on the Ponta da Areia in Niterói. The foundry goes from bad to worse, and on August 11, 1846, Colmann sells this small business to Irineu Evangelista de Sousa, who renames it Estabeleci ...

The Imperial Brazilian Navy (Portuguese: ''Armada Nacional'', commonly known as ''Armada Imperial'') was the navy created at the time of the independence of the Empire of Brazil from the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. It existed between 1822 and 1889 during the vacancy of the constitutional monarchy.

Some establishments created by King John VI were used and incorporated. Under the reign of Emperor Pedro II the Navy was greatly expanded to become the fifth most powerful navy in the world and the armed force more popular and loyal to the Brazilian monarchy.
