Spanish ship San Leandro (1787)

The San Leandro was a Spanish naval vessel launched in 1787. She was a ship of the line, likely of the 64-gun type, a standard warship design prevalent in the Spanish Navy during the late 18th century. Historical records regarding the San Leandro are somewhat scarce, but she would have participated in the defense of Spanish colonies and trade routes against rival European powers, particularly Great Britain and France, and also in the suppression of piracy. Details of her specific deployments, engagements, and ultimate fate require further research. Her role would have encompassed tasks such as convoy escort, fleet actions, and potentially coastal defense within the Spanish empire. The construction of San Leandro reflects the broader Spanish naval efforts to maintain a strong presence in the Americas and the Pacific Ocean.
