The only downside that I see this composition is that in the various vessels that appear in the tables, they are seen with the current Spanish flag (which has existed since the time of Charles III). Blas de Lezo was the time of Philip V, a few decades earlier.
August 31, 2007 @ 12:32The reason is that the author pictures to fill the video uses images of ships and cobates of different eras. It focuses on those that are related to Blas de Lezo but includes the Glorious combat attack or the Morro Castle in Havana for example. So there are the flags after the exploits of the famous sailor. A greeting.
August 31, 2007 @ 12:59And for when a good novel set in the successes of Blas de Lezo and Luis de Velasco?
I'm sick of British naval literature full of fantasy or Spanish, much more tight to reality, but outside of Trafalgar and St. Vincent did not find any historical moment of inspiration.
Could you not try to convince Delgado Perez Reverte Bañón or to do something?
September 1st, 2007 @ 10:54In fact it has had to come a Colombian (Paul Victoria) to relate our deeds, the latter is the de Galvez. Delgado's what Reverte Bañon or ... well I do not know and I am a mere mortal than 25 years, but everything will come lol
September 1st, 2007 @ 11:20I think it would give more publicity to Lezo a Novel of the writing style of Luis Delgado Bañón than any other act.
I read on another forum that Lezo, under the command of a frigate, captured a ship called Cumberland (70 guns) in the West Indies in 1716. He knew about the Stanhope (equal size), but not the former. Is it perhaps a mistake and talk about the same action or my countryman made another of yours?
In the book of Victoria Paul speaks of a huge number of British ships in the assault detruidos Cartagena de Indias (including those classified by number of bridges). Do you know where you got the data? Because if so, the disaster of Tafalgar (on ships) to Spain was not even half as hard as Vernon bullshit for Britain ...
I liked your compilation work. Many months ago I was trying to get information about Blas de Lezo, but otherwise the book appointments, and one of Editorial Planeta, also Colombian but another author that I could get, I found more. If someday you decide to write a book about it, let me know.
Best regards,

September 1st, 2007 @ 18:18It is a fact that I am confirming that I have. This would be a different match and if possible, may be because by this time was in those lares. But with a frigate not think it was because by then it was captain since 1712 and as its ships had indicated range. The Colombia planet you can get online, provides good data, Quintero Saravia. About what to write a book ... more research is needed, because I've done here is to collect and compare data for a biographical article as complete as possible. Anyway I'm working on something else quite interesting that at the time if you know the circumstances. From the data in Victoria I have to ask Paul a lot, I a priori give my vote of confidence because it's a pretty serious job despite being fictionalized, but I want to ask things like you, if you're lucky it may happen in not too distant future. A greeting.
