Tagus — Jervis Withdrawal 1796

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A strategic waterway. Not a river survey and not a likeness.

Overview

The withdrawal is already on the Battle of Cape St Vincent 1797 — Overview. After the second Treaty of San Ildefonso 1796, the British Mediterranean fleet was forced out: Corsica was evacuated in November 1796 and Jervis John Earl St Vincent — Biography withdrew to the Tagus.¹

The Withdrawal

This note covers that November 1796 withdrawal only. A harbour plan, a founding year, and a later Tagus station stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

Corsica — Evacuated November 1796 already used the evacuation and left the Tagus queued. Strait of Gibraltar — Strategic Waterway is a different lane. Do not invent a garrison, a fort name, or troop numbers from this page.²
