These ships were captured by the British Navy between May and September 1727 during the short Anglo-Spanish War. The list is summarized from a description made by Commodore Edward St. Lo, commander of the Jamaica Station. 7 Spanish merchant ships are described, some with the naval ship and master responsible for their capture, along with the price they fetched at auction in Jamaica. One was captured off Havana, another off Cartagena.
