The
Battle of Havana was an engagement between the
British Caribbean squadron and a
Spanish squadron based near
Havana. After a number of abortive attacks, the British succeeded in driving the Spaniards back to their harbour after capturing the
Conquistador and running the vice-admiral's ship on shore where she blew up. Both commanders,
Charles Knowles and
Don Andres Reggio, were reprimanded by their respective governments for their conduct during the engagement, the former for not bringing his full fleet to bear and achieving a total rout.
