This Day in History: A Spanish Admiral helps the American Revolution
https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-action-august9-1780
Aug 9, 2022
On this day in 1780, a large convoy of British ships is captured,
headed toward the West Indies
The victory was the result of a combined French and Spanish effort, led by Spanish Admiral Luis de Córdova y Córdova.
Córdova y Córdova captured most of the convoy—at least 55 ships, along with the soldiers, seamen, and cargo on board. The cost to the British was estimated at 1.5 million pounds.
It would prove to be one of the largest naval captures in history!
