Anybody able to confirm the site of the seizure of the Santa Ana? NorCalHistory 22:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Quote from the main text: "In July 1586, determined to follow Drake by circumnavigating the globe, Cavendish built a larger ship named the Desire. His small fleet set out from Harwich on 27 June 1586 and reached the Strait of Magellan on 6 June 1587.

Along the way he burned three Spanish towns and thirteen ships and visited the ruins of the failed Spanish settlement of Rey Don Felipe and renamed it Port Famine.... In early November 1587 Cavendish captured the 600-ton Spanish galleon Santa Anna off Cabo San Lucas,... "
I stumble on some inconsistencies:

Sorry I dont have reliable resources to correct the dates. -- Lupo Manaro ( talk) 19:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Other ships of the fleet taken from woodentallships.com, although for citing purposes, a dead tree or more authoritative source is probably warranted, unless someone wants to write to the webmaster for his sources. (If so, remember to still include the website with an op. cit.) - LlywelynII ( talk) 14:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
