One of the most remembered phrases of Prat is "Boys, the contest is uneven! Our flag has never been lowered before the enemy, I hope that this is not the occasion to do it. While I am alive, that flag will fly in its place, and I assure you that if I die, my officers will know how to fulfill their duty. Long live Chile!" The flag was never lowered, even when the ship sank.
