Spanish capture of Providencia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Spanish capture of Providencia
The Spanish conquest of Providencia took place on 17 May 1641 and was an amphibious expedition launched by Spain against the Piracy in the Caribbean in order to seize the island from its English settlers' control. The Spanish fleet carrying 2,000 men captured the island and demolished the forts taking so much gold that the value of the plunder was estimated at above half a million ducats.〔Scott p.335〕 ==Background== Determined to expel the English, the Spanish crown ordered veteran Admiral Don Francisco Díaz Pimienta to take his battle fleet to expunge the intruder settlement. Díaz Pimienta appeared off Providencia Island with his 400- ton flagship ''San Juan''; the 800-ton, foreign-built viceflag ''Sansón'' under Jerónimo de Ojeda; the 400-ton galleons ''Jesús María del Castillo'' and ''San Marcos''; the 300-ton ships ''Santa Ana'', ''Teatina'', and ''Comboy''; the auxiliary ''San Pedro''; and three lesser craft of 70–80 tons apiece.〔 The expedition bears a total of 600 sailors and 1,400 soldiers.〔
