It was incorporated as a town in 1671. It was completely submerged with all its inhabitants during the memorable earthquake of 1746, and the ruins are still dis- tinguishable under water when the sea is calm. In 1820 its harbor was the scene of a naval combat between the independents of Chili and the Spaniards, who were defeated; and in January, 1826, the latter finally surrendered Callao, which was their last foothold in Pern. In 1825 it was almost entirely submerged by a volcanic upheaval of the ocean, and again in August, 1868. CALLAWAY. I. A S.
