Third Battle of Manzanillo

The Third Battle of Manzanillo was a naval engagement that occurred on July 18, 1898, between an American fleet commanded by Chapman C. Todd against a Spanish fleet led by Joaquín Gómez de Barreda, during the Spanish–American War. The significantly more powerful United States Navy squadron, consisting of four gunboats, two armed tugs and a patrol yacht, overpowered a Royal Spanish Navy squadron which consisted of four gunboats, three pontoon used as floating batteries, and three transports, sinking or destroying all the Spanish ships present without losing a single ship of their own. Following the destruction of their fleet, the Spanish hold-out on Manzanillo was bombarded, leading to the city's surrender and the end of Spanish presence on the island.
