1797 Battle of San Juan [2021 Reenactment] in El Morro Fort and Tour
On April 17, 1797, a fleet of 60 British ships reached the coast of San Juan with the purpose of besieging the city and taking possession of the Island of Puerto Rico. They disembarked along the shores of Boca de Cangrejos and seized Cangrejos (now Santurce), sustaining a strong attack on the island of San Juan from the east side of Laguna del Condado.
The military forces of the Puerto Rico Regiment, the Disciplined Militias and hundreds of Puerto Rican civilians came to defend the homeland from all parts of the Island. After just 15 days they defeated the invading enemy, provoking their decisive withdrawal on May 2. The battle became known as the 1797 Battle of San Juan.
