Second Battle of Manzanillo
The Second Battle of Manzanillo was a naval engagement of the Spanish–American War on 1 July 1898. Two American gunboats attempted unsuccessfully to destroy the shipping present in the harbor of Manzanillo, Cuba.
==The battle==
The and had arrived at Manzanillo on 1 July expecting to find an American squadron, but did not know that the squadron had fought a battle in the harbor and retired the previous day. The two vessels under Adolph Marix nonetheless decided to follow their orders and sailed into the bay to capture or destroy any enemy shipping there. In the harbor, they found several small vessels including the gunboats ''Estrella'' and ''Guantánamo'', the ''Delgado Parejo'', and a barracks ship. The Americans then proceeded to open fire on the vessels but could not get close enough to destroy them due to the shallow water that lay in between the two aggressors. Not only did the Spanish gunboats return fire, but infantry and artillery from the shore as well.
The Americans were outnumbered, and after ''Scorpion'' had been hit 12 times the attackers withdrew. ''Osceola'' was not hit and the Americans reported casualties, while Spanish casualties were three men wounded aboard the pontoon ''María''.
