The Girona was a Spanish galleon that was part of the ill-fated Spanish Armada in 1588. Onboard were soldiers, sailors, and a notable figure, the Duke of Medina Sidonia, who commanded the fleet. The ship was carrying troops and supplies intended for the invasion of England. Unfortunately, the Girona sank off the coast of Ireland during a storm, leading to significant loss of life.

What happened to the Girona spanish armada?

The galleass Gerona along with two other ships had been forced into Killybegs Harbour. The other two sank but the Girona was still seaworthy. It had the added advantage of being propelled by oars if needed. The Irish chieftain MacSweeney Banagh assisted the crew in repairing the ship and after 2 weeks it was ready to sail in mid-October. As the ship sailed east towards Scotland, a fierce gale battered the ship and its 1300 occupants driving it ashore at Dunluce, Co. Antrim. Only nine survivors were found and were offered protection by the Irish chieftain Sorley Boy MacDonnell, who arranged for their escape to Scotland. Three cannons and two chests of treasure were recovered by MacDonnell.
