Originally named by Europeans as Rat Island (Portuguese: Ilha dos Ratos), its current name comes from the fact that the customs department has been stationed there before Guarda Fiscal, serving the port of the then-capital of the Empire during the nineteenth century. The customs offices were housed at a Neo-Gothic palace built under Pedro II,[lower-alpha 1] which occupies most of the island. The island became famous as the site of the famous Fiscal Island Ball (Portuguese: Baile da Ilha Fiscal), the last royal ball of the Empire before the coup d'état that proclaimed the Republic in November 1889.[1]
During the Fiscal Island Ball (Portuguese: Baile da Ilha Fiscal), held on 9 November 1889[lower-alpha 2] and considered "the last ball of the Empire," Afonso Celso, Viscount of Ouro Preto, Deodato Cesino Vilella dos Santos, João da Costa Lima e Castro[pt] and Saldanha da Gama were members of the reception committee.[3] The ball was in honor of a visiting Chilean delegation[4] of naval men,[5] with an alleged attendance of six thousand guests.[4] An often repeated legend states that after the ball 8 bodices, 17 silk pillows, 3 corsets, 17 garters and 9 epaulets were found on the island.[2]
During the Revolt of the Lash, on 23 November 1910, the Brazilian battleship São Paulo was located off the island and headed out of the bay unscathed.[6]Aurélio de Figueiredo[pt] painted The Last Dance of Ilha Fiscal (Portuguese: O Último baile da Ilha Fiscal), based on the 1889 ball, in 1905.[7] Since 1914, the Navy's Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation (Portuguese: Diretoria de Hidrografia e Navegação) has been based on Ilha Fiscal. After the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo, the Directorate was the second institution in Brazil to carry out oceanographic research.[8] Monica Hirst argumented before the meeting that resulted in the 1994 Protocol of Ouro Preto that it should not be compared to the Ilha Fiscal Ball.[9] In 2002, businessman Alexandre Accioly celebrated his 40th birthday at Ilha Fiscal.[10] As part of the 2005 Rio Fashion Week, designer Clara Vasconcelos showcased the Tessuti 2006 summer collection runway show held on a runway with 150 seat capacity in the form of an "A".[11][12][13] During the Mensalão scandal, presidential advisor Ricardo Kotscho made a public statement which Folha de S.Paulo journalist Clóvis Rossi[pt] compared to the infamous ball, "where the court danced while the monarchy collapsed."[14]
Ilha Fiscal now hosts a museum of cultural history housed in the that is maintained by the Navy of Brazil. Boat and land tours depart the nearby Navy Cultural Center[pt] and travel to and around Ilha Fiscal.[1]
