Do you have the name of the ship in question, Salamanca? This is to do with the ill fated Algiers expedition I take it?

I think he boarded a flag ship called the duke of Alva.

Yes I think it was Giannettino Doria's flagship.

Charles V sent 25000 men to attack Algeria in 1541. Hassan's garrison of 5000 men had no chance, but fortunately a storm wrecked the Spanish fleet http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hxg6AQAAIAAJ&dq=1541%20expedition%20algiers&pg=PA630#v=onepage&q&f=false

Life's hell when you think you got it made with superior or alleged superior technology. And then Mama Nature tells one to bite oneself. Edith Garnier deals with this in her....L'Alliance Impie.

Just like the Armada in 1588. The Spaniards may have had the strongest empire at the time, but they were powerless against the weather
