Actions & Battles

1718-aug-11 Battle of Cape Passaro

 

Notes

Very good ships, sailed up to 11-12 knots, and even reached 14.

1 Looks like San Juan Bautista could not depart with the other 3 due to lack of crew as it was planned, wrote on letters from s1.

2 The squadron was formed by San Juan Bautista (60), San Luis (60), N S de Begonna (54), San Jorge (50) & Principe de Asturias (30).
