Pedro Carlos de Aguiar Craveiro Lopes

Pedro Carlos de Aguiar Craveiro Lopes (* 1834 in Lisbon ) was a Portuguese naval officer and colonial administrator.

Lopes was the son of the naval officer Carlos Craveiro Lopes , who was among other things commander of the naval stations in Macau and Cape Verde , and Rita da Piedade Alves Chaves de Aguiar . Pedro was married twice and had four children from the first marriage.

On April 30, 1869, Lopes became governor of the colony of São Tomé and Príncipe as Lieutenant Captain . Here he was given an unusual award, the Medalha Individual de Gratidão: Ilha de S. Tomé, 1870 for philanthropy and good performance. At the same time, he was confronted with numerous allegations in this office. A report from 1871 spoke of "humiliations, orgies and waste".

According to the historian AH de Oliveira Marques , Pedro Carlos de Aguiar Craveiro Lopes is said to have briefly been the governor of Portuguese Timor . After Francisco Teixeira da Silva could no longer exercise his office for health reasons, captain António Joaquim Garcia took over the post in Southeast Asia in 1869. Lopes received the post in 1870, until the newly appointed governor, Lieutenant Captain João Clímaco de Carvalho, took office in the same year.

Pedro Carlos de Aguiar Craveiro Lopes remained governor of São Tomé and Príncipe in Africa until October 7, 1872. In 1874 he was a frigate captain in Mozambique .

From 1886 to 1888 Pedro Carlos de Aguiar Craveiro Lopes was port commander of Ponta Delgada in the Azores with the rank of rear admiral . After his death, his second wife Mariana Âmbar sold a collection of around 600 different African artifacts to Jacinto da Silveira Gago da Câmara , the second Count of Fonte Bela. Today these form the collection of African art in the Museu Carlos Machado in Ponta Delgada.
