Governor O'Hara did not approve of St Vincent's plan as he proposed to finance it by selling the naval stores at Waterport and Irish Town. However, St Vincent had poor regard for O'Hara, who let the garrison enjoy the ninety pubs on the Rock. It has been proposed that he needed the income to finance his many households and mistresses. St Vincent, however, won with regard to his navy's needs. The poor morale in the garrison led to a plot to let Spain have Gibraltar. O'Hara discovered the plot and 1,000 people were exiled from the Rock. He died in Gibraltar on 21 February 1802, from complications due to his old wounds and was buried on 25 February. In popular culture In the Roland Emmerich film The Patriot starring Mel Gibson, Charles O'Hara was played by Peter Woodward. His portrayal in the film has been criticised due to the fact the real O'Hara is said to have spoken with a strong Irish accent. O'Hara was portrayed by Collin Sutton in the television show Turn: Washington's Spies. John Means portrayed Brigadier General Charles O'Hara in the MGM miniseries George Washington in 1984.
