It was when the Spanish Armada was sent to invade Britain. Due mainly British weather, and the harrowing by the British fleet, the attack was a dismal failure. Many Spanish ships were sunk by stormy seas as they were forced to sail across the top of Scotland and then south between Ireland and England to reach their Spanish home.
