Notes | The picture depicts the English fleet of Robert Venables (1612-1657) and Sir William Penn (1621-1670) arriving at the Spanish ruled Jamaica. The Spanish surrendered and fled, leaving their freed slaves to organise a guerilla fighting force, later known as 'Maroons'. The Spanish formally gave up Jamaica to the English in 1670. The Maroons raided English plantations and settlements into the 18th century. | | Presented by J Leslie Wright1953, received on his death, 1954. |
