Battle of Martinique (1667)
The Battle of Martinique also known as Harman’s Martinican Bonfire was a major naval battle fought in the Caribbean island of Martinique at St Pierre, from 30 June to 7 July 1667 that came towards the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War. A French merchantile fleet anchored in the bay led by Joseph de La Barre were attacked by an English fleet led by Admiral Sir John Harman. The English were victorious, virtually wiping out the French fleet in the Caribbean, which contained no naval vessels, and enabled them to secure their domination and position in the West Indies despite being at the war's end.
