Privateers Terrorizes British Shipping in Iberian Waters
A report from London details Spanish privateers capturing several British vessels off the Irish coast and at St Sebastian. The Sebastian and allied privateers seized ships carrying wine, pilchards, and other goods, with the Endfield reported as among the captured. Dispatches discuss British plans, possible Havana descent, and naval preparations while authorities move to suppress privateering and bolster defenses.
