Majestic Coercive Landing Plans at Minorca 1781
A long dispatch details a planned amphibious operation against Minorca, with orders to land via two brigades, seize heights, and establish Mahon as a base. It chronicles fleet signals, officer directives, port fortifications, and the strategic aim of maintaining the harbour as shelter for transports and warships amid a broad British campaign.
