On the night of 22 November 1910, sailors seized major warships in Guanabara Bay and demanded an end to corporal punishment, improved conditions, and amnesty. João Cândido Felisberto became a central leader. Many sailors were Black or mixed-race men recruited into a Navy whose discipline preserved brutal practices after abolition. The revolt compelled the government to promise an end to flogging, but the state later broke its amnesty and repressed participants. Their organized action must be understood as labor and political struggle, not simply mutiny.
