News from Lisbon and Cadiz in May 1745 harbor status
Letters from Gibraltar report no recent Spanish approach, guns ready at Queen Anne’s Battery, houses repaired after the late siege, and eight ships under Admiral Cavendish cruising. Cadiz shipments warn of six months’ victualing and sailors kept ashore to prevent desertion, while Princess Louisa sails to Gibraltar and Mahony’s deserters are noted. Meanwhile Hanover greets King George II upon arrival at Herrenhausen with public acclaim and court promotions planned.
