Notes

Was a 30 guns french frigate, bought by D. Diego de Murga, Marqueese of Monte Sacro, for private trade with south america and/or bought to/thru him by the spanish royal navy.

Looks like was rearmed by the navy up to 50-60 guns. This had caused many confusions in spanish records, been listed as 30 guns frigate & 50-60 guns ship.

Out of service date is not clear, some say 1724 and others 1721 at Veracruz.
