Antique engraved Plan of the Straights of Bahama

A Plan of the Straights of Bahama, through which the Expedition Fleet was Conducted in the Year 1762 against the Havana.

DESCRIPTION: Original antique engraved map of the route taken by the British Fleet during their attack on the city of Havana, Cuba in 1762.

The map depicts the fleet's passage through the Old Bahamas Channel, a risky route just north of Cuba, through a channel only 10 miles wide at some points. The route taken by the British reduced the amount of warning time afforded to the Spanish Fleet.

Conducted during the Seven Years' War, the Siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762.
