The frigate sunk in peacetime that changed Spain's history (1804)

The Mercedes, a Spanish Navy frigate launched at Havana in 1786, was returning from the Americas laden with treasure when four British frigates attacked her without a declaration of war off Cape Santa María. She blew up on 5 October 1804 with 249 people aboard. The attack pushed Spain into the war — and into Trafalgar. Two centuries later Spain won another battle over her: the courts returned the half a million coins taken from her wreck.
