This map depicts the Battle of Porto Bello, fought in 1739 when Admiral Vernon of the British fleet sought to disrupt Spanish trade from the Americas to Spain. Porto Bello was a key military and commercial supply base (in present-day Panama), and though the blow kept the Spanish from using the port for future operations, the British fleet was ultimately unsuccessful in denting Spanish trade.
