Sinking of Lord Clive Print

Sinking of "Lord Clive" at Colonia del Sacramento, January 6, 1763. (7 Years War). First British attemp in the conquest of the Río de la Plata (River Plate) with the support of the Portuguese, interested in recovering the "Colonia" West of the Uruguay River. The British-Portuguese fleet, made up of 3 vessels fails as they were being frequently attacked by the successful defense of Governor Ceballos. The Lord Clive mistakenly anchors too close to the port's batteries and is efficiently set on fire with fire balls. Commander MacNamara dies in combat while the rest of his officers were hanged for piracy. This is the only British defeat in this war and ends the commercial endeavours of the East Indies Company in the area. The company was responsible for financing this mission to monopolize its South American operations.
