San Juan Expedition — 1800 Sent

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. Earthworks by a harbour. Not a portrait.

Overview

Hinchinbrook San Juan Mortality — 1780 already records the crew-mortality figure. San Bartolomeo — Boarded Barefoot already records the 9 April battery. Manchineel Spring — San Juan 1780 already records the spring. Janus Cot — Port Royal already records the cot landing. This note covers the expedition-wide figure only.¹

The Figure

Southey gives the expedition-wide loss: eighteen hundred men were sent to different posts upon this expedition; not more than three hundred and eighty ever returned.²

The two-hundred / ten-survived figure stays on Hinchinbrook San Juan Mortality — 1780. The battery stays on San Bartolomeo — Boarded Barefoot. The spring stays on Manchineel Spring — San Juan 1780. The cot landing stays on Janus Cot — Port Royal. This page does not invent a disease name or a later castle career.
