Description |
English: Drawing, inscribed at top, apparently by the artist 'The Burning of the Affrica Reggio's ship of 74 guns about 10 or 12 leagues to windward of the Havana by the Cornwall and Strafford. Oct 1748.'
It shows the aftermath of the Battle of Havana - also called Knowles's Action - on 1 October when Admiral Don Andres Reggio, commanding the Spanish squadron in the 'Africa' (nominally of 70 guns but reported to have been carrying 75) had been chased into a small bay and burnt his ship to prevent her capture. Knowles's flagship 'Cornwall' (80 guns) is on the right and the 'Strafford' (50) on the left. |
