Talk:Battle of Stromboli

Latest comment: 15 years ago by Rru

Melchor de la Cueva didn't take part in this battle nor was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet. Admiral de Ruyter was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch-Spanish fleet in the battle.

Is in the battle of Messina, (11/Febrary/1675), fought between Spain and France without the Netherlands taking part in it, where the admiral Melchor de la Cueva led the Spanish fleet.

Nuestra Señora del Rosario was the only Spanish ship present at the battle of Stromboli, his captain was Mateo de Laya y Cabex, who joined with his ship de Ruyter's fleet at Barcelona prior to the 1676 Mediteranean campaign.

The Spanish ship Nuestra Señora del Pueblo was captured in the Battle of Messina, on the 11 of Febrary of 1675, so it should not be listed here.
