Note
Shows the location of the Cornwall, Knowles' flagship, and other ships as well as the location of the Governor's house and the battery.
Knowles captured Port Louis, Hispaniola and afterwards sailed for Cuba, planning to attack Santiago and later to intercept the Spanish treasure fleet. In the wake of his failures, Knowles accused some of his captains of "bashfullnes"; they in turn accused him of delaying the attack, engaging in a straggling line, and providing a false report to the Admiralty. At Knowles' court martial, he was sentenced to be reprimanded, a contrast, perhaps, to the severe sentence upon Byng.
On leaf 29r of The Tragedy of Admiral Byng.
Also on leaf 29r: a view of Portipea [i.e., Port-de-Paix?] the Cornwall, Knowles' flagship, with the Plymouth and others in the channel between Tortuga and Haiti: Five ships of the line & a frigate engaging off Portipea under their double-reef topsails -- cataloged separately
