"In February 1797 the British routed a Spanish fleet near Cape St. Vincent but failed to strike a solid blow against the Spanish Navy in the uneven struggle. Admiral Sir John Jervis sailed for Lisbon after the engagement, frustrated at the escape of several valuable prizes including the Sant\u00EDsima Trinidad. New orders from the Admiralty demanded him to blockade and subdue the Spanish port of C\u00E1diz, where much of the battered Spanish squadron had sought shelter. The First Sea Lord thought that the ease of Jervis' victory over Jos\u00E9 de C\u00F3rdoba y Ramos guaranteed a successful attack on that strategic harbour. Events proved otherwise."@en . . .
