:''The article you are about to read is about a ship from the Spanish Armada. '' The San Salvador was a Spanish galleon of the Spanish Armada as part of the Guipúzcoan squadron of Miguel de Oquendo. It was damaged and captured as a result of the first encounter of the Armada with the Royal Navy in 1588. The ''San Salvador'' was lost at sea in the English Channel later that same year. == Capture == During the first encounter with the English fleet on 31 July 1588, during a lull in battle, the ''San Salvadors gunpowder magazine exploded, lighting a portion of the ship on fire.〔 The Spanish fleet was able to extinguish the flames and rescue some of the injured.〔 49 crew died as a result of this explosion and 23 had died previously due to combat. On 1 August, the ''San Salvador'' was ordered to be scuttled, but instead was simply set adrift. The English dispatched an inspection party to the ''San Salvador'' and found approximately fifty burnt bodies aboard.〔 The ''Golden Hind'', a ship in the English fleet, then towed the ''San Salvador'' to the English port at Weymouth.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Salvador (Guipúzcoan squadron)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
