British Expedition against Havana, 1762: the Fleet, under Sir George Pocock, entering the harbour to take possession, (1898). 'In the war between England and Spain, declared at the beginning of 1762, the British Fleet, under Sir George Pocock, arrived off Havana on June 5, the land attack being commanded by George Keppel, second [sic] Earl of Albemarle. The landing was effected on June 7, and after a two months' siege by sea and land Havana surrendered on August 14. The prize money was estimated at upwards of three millions sterling. Our Illustration, from an old print, gives a good view of the important stronghold of Morro Castle, to the east of the town.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
