Summary
| Description |
English: 19th-century engraving depicts a Spanish Galleon shipwreck at Port-Na Spaniagh, 1588. Lacada Point and the Spanish Rocks are in the background.
(Note: The Girona is the only Armada ship known to have sunk at Port-Na Spaniagh. Her actual wreck site off Lacada Point was not re-discovered until 1967. So this engraving was surely a fanciful depiction of the galleass, Girona. As the oars are smashed or missing, and their rowing ports obscured by waves, her misidentification as a "galleon" in the original book-plate caption is understandable.) |

The geographic determination of the location as being Port-Na Spaniagh has been made by the uploader, Bbaldwin7, through a matching of numerous rock formations in the engraving with identical points in a photo composition of the same location, taken by photographer, Robert John Welch, probably early in 1888, and possibly due to his documentation of locations in Ireland then known to be related to Spanish Armada incidents. Therefore, the engraving may have been first published at the earlier date of 1888, during the 300th Anniversary of the defeat of the Spanish Armada. |
