Bahía de Guadiana

Bahía de Guadiana

Bahía de Guadiana (English: Guadiana Bay), located in modern day Cuba, was described as a network of swamps and marshes on the tip of Nueva Filipina, the New Philippines, the island's western cape, where thousands of enslaved Filipinos labored in Spanish tobacco plantations, during the early 18th century. ^{[citation needed]}

In July 1716, a pirate assembly was being held in a hideout cove in the area. The French pirate captains Alonzo Batilla and Olivier Levasseur attended to the pirate assembly, and found Benjamin Hornigold and Samuel Bellamy arguing about Hornigold's code to not attack any Royal Navy ships. They decided to put it to a vote and the pirates voted for Bellamy as the captain, deposing Hornigold. Later that night, Alonzo and Samuel attacked a slave ship, liberating the slaves and Alonzo taking Aaminah, a female slave, into his crew.
