Bombardment of Punta Sombrero

The Bombardment of Punta Sombrero was an American naval bombardment in response to a Mexican attack on a United States Navy warship during the Mexican-American War, on October 31, 1847.
==Background==

Following the Battle of Mulege and the christening of the chartered schooner ''Libertad'', Lieutenant Tunis Craven took command and set sail north, up the Gulf of California. ''Libertad'' was most likely armed with three or four cannons taken from Loreto days earlier by the crew of USS ''Dale''.
Her mission was to disrupt enemy communications from Mulegé's garrison to other communities and fortifications. According to reports, the Mexican population of coastal towns grew terrified of the repeated appearances of ''Libertad'' in the waters off their settlements. No engagements occurred until October 31, when Tunis Craven spotted a Mexican merchant schooner, in the anchorage of Mulege at 10:00 pm.
Unknown to Craven at the time, the Mexican schooner was protected by an artillery battery of considerable strength at the mouth of the anchorage on Punta Sombrero, with several riflemen to guard the battery.
