English: The 'Foudroyant' was a large and new 80-gun French flagship of a squadron under Admiral Duquesne. On 28 February 1758 she was on her way to relieve the French Commodore, de la Clue, at Cartagena when she was intercepted by Admiral Osborn with three British ships of the line, the 'Monmouth' and 'Hampton Court', both 64 guns, and the 'Swiftsure', 70 guns.
This view shows three British ships, the Monmouth in the centre, directing fire to two French ships to the left, with two British ships, the Swiftsure and Hampton Court to the right. |
