Cartobibliographic notes:
This map of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba was prepared during the War of Jenkin's Ear. In March 1741, after a disastrous defeat at Cartagena, Admiral Edward Vernon captured Guantanamo Bay and renamed it Cumberland Harbour. It remained for a short time in British hands before Vernon abandoned it after guerilla attacks and illness decimated his men.
