Watercolor by John White. The temporary fort was constructed by General Ralph Lane to protect a base camp for Sir Richard Grenville's crew as they awaited the rest of his fleet, which had become separated off the coast of Portugal. The location of Mosquetal (Mosquito Bay) is uncertain; historians have identified it as both Tullaboa Bay and Guayanilla Bay.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
