Spanish Flota Ships Burnt and Brought Home by Fleet
A fragmentary historical notice from Lindon dated November 12 describes the capture and destruction of multiple ships from the Vera Cruz to Vigo under Count Chateaurenad. It lists the admiral Velasco and vice admiral Chacon, the burning of vessels, and the return of the Toro with the fleet. It mentions several ships, their fates, and the strategic harbor defenses at Cadiz, plus reports on prizes taken by the fleet and movements of other ships in the Channel and Newfoundland.
