The Taking of the Acapulco Ship, 20th June 1743 - A Glimpse into Naval Triumphs and Treasures
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Taking of the Acapulco Ship" on the 20th of June, 1743. Created by an English School artist from the 18th century, this engraving showcases a pivotal event during which George, Lord Anson, Admiral of the Fleet, led his crew to capture a Spanish treasure ship. Intriguingly set against a backdrop of turbulent seas and billowing sails, this portrait-like image depicts Anson's flagship "The Centurion" as it engages in battle with the mighty galleon from Manila. The yearly voyage between Manila and Acapulco was renowned for its valuable cargo, making this conquest all the more remarkable. Upon their triumphant return to England on July 4th, 1744, Anson's fleet paraded through London with an astonishing display - no less than thirty-two wagons filled with treasures looted from their captured prize. This spectacle served as a testament to England's naval prowess and solidified Anson's reputation as a formidable commodore. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time by Fine Art Finder and brought back to life through meticulous restoration work by Bridgeman Art Library; we are reminded not only of past triumphs but also of humanity's insatiable
