 There are some discrepancies between the English and Spanish sources listing the Spanish fleet , principally in the number of guns most of the vessels are claimed to mount . The table below lists the Spanish records describing Lángara 's fleet . Beatson lists all of the Spanish ships of the line at 70 guns , except Fenix , which he lists at 80 guns . One frigate , the Santa Rosalia , is listed by Beatson at 28 guns . The identify of the second Spanish frigate is different in the two listings . Beatson records her as the Santa <unk> , 26 guns , with captain Don Annibal <unk> , while Duro 's listing describes her as Santa Cecilia , 34 , captain Don Domingo <unk> . Both frigates , whatever their identity , escaped the battle .
