The fortress was defended by 3,000 Spanish troops and six ships of the line.

Havana 1762. The largest port of Cuba, Havana, was attacked in June 1762 by a large English fleet (53 ships of the line, 15,000 troops, 10,000 sailors). At the peace conference, Spain had to cede Florida to the British to regain Havana.
