Capture of the Bahamas (1782)

The Capture of the Bahamas took place in May 1782 during the Anglo-Spanish War when a Spanish force under the command of Juan Manuel de Cagigal arrived on the island of New Providence near Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. The British commander at Nassau, John Maxwell decided to surrender the island without a fight when confronted by the superior force.
== Background ==
Spain had entered the American War of Independence in 1779 and launched a campaign to drive the British out of the Gulf of Mexico overrunning the British colony of West Florida and seizing its major outposts at Mobile and Pensacola. The Spanish commander Bernardo de Gálvez planned an attack against Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas which served as a major British privateering base. Gálvez authorised an expedition against the islands in late 1781, but this was postponed during the Yorktown Campaign which led to the surrender of a British army in October 1781.〔Chavez p.203〕 In early 1782 the scheme was revived and command of it was given to Juan Cagigal, the Governor of Havana.
