Spanish capture of Providencia The Spanish conquest of Providencia took place on 17 May 1641 and was a Thirty Years ' War amphibious expedition launched by Spain in order to seize the island from English control . The Spanish fleet carrying 2 , 000 men captured the island and demolished the forts taking so much gold that the value of the plunder was estimated at above half a million ducats . Background . Determined to expel the English , the Spanish crown ordered veteran Admiral Don Francisco Díaz Pimienta to take his battle fleet to expunge the intruder settlement . Díaz Pimienta appeared off Providencia Island with his 400 - ton flagship " San Juan " ; the 800 - ton , foreign - built viceflag " Sansón " under Jerónimo de Ojeda ; the 400 - ton galleons " Jesús María del Castillo " and " San Marcos " ; the 300 - ton ships " Santa Ana " , " Teatina " , and " Comboy " ; the auxiliary " San Pedro " ; and three lesser craft of 70 – 80 tons apiece .

On 19 May " San Marcos " striked an outcropping and is severely damaged ; retiring toward Cartagena , taking 270 troops and one - third of the Spanish siege train . Díaz eventually decided to make a thrust directly into the main English harbor at dawn on 24 May with 1 , 200 men , hoping to catch his enemy offguard . The gamble paid off : Spanish troops waded through the surf and stormed the intricate system of English trenches and parapets with cold steel . The defenders were driven back within their keep , and the Spaniards manhandled English artillery pieces into new emplacements to open up a close - range bombardment . At this point , Providencia ’ s residents sent out two flags of truce , requesting terms . The next day ( 25 May ) , Díaz accepted the surrender of the fort along with 40 guns , 380 slaves , and all English goods on the island . The 770 inhabitants surrendered on the understanding they would be repatriated to Europe ; the Spanish commander - in - chief installed a new garrison under Vice Admiral de Ojeda . Díaz ’ s fleet then prepared to weigh , except for the Portuguese Ajuda , which attempted to desert its Spanish consorts but was wrecked on Providencia ’ s reefs . Furious , Díaz ordered two of its officers shot and their bodies displayed on the twisted wreckage as a warning to other wouldbe runaways . Aftermath . The victorious Spanish admiral was accorded a hero ’ s welcome at Cartagena de Indias , later being awarded with a knighthood in the Order of Santiago . The vast majority of the English prisoners were forced to work clearing the Magdalena River .
