On August 6, 1588, during the Anglo-Spanish War, the Spanish Armada, a fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain to invade England, began its ill-fated journey. This date is significant as it marked the start of the fleet's encounter with adverse weather and naval challenges after being spotted by English forces.
