British Fleet Near Corogoe Coasts And Spanish Straits
Reports from the Hague and Jamaica describe a British fleet led by Admiral Norris with Duke of Cumberland aboard, comprising 28 warships and fire ships, 1420 cannon, and 10,000 sailors. They aim at Galicia near Corogoe to burn the Spanish squadron in Petrol harbour, while Spanish shortages and sickness weaken troops in Galicia and nearby ports. British operations include pressure on Cadiz and Ferrol, with engineers and matériel dispatched to Gibraltar and Portmahon. Admiral Vernon actions off Jamaica and Chagres capture are noted, along with prize captures and preparations for further moves toward the Iberian coast.
