The painting specifically depicts the dramatic events of September 13, 1782, when the British forces, under the command of Governor General George Augustus Eliott, successfully repelled a major assault by the Spanish fleet. The Spanish had deployed a formidable array of gunboats and floating batteries, which were heavily fortified and designed to withstand cannon fire.

The painting captures the chaos and intensity of the battle, with billowing smoke, fiery explosions, and the tumultuous sea vividly rendered. Rosewall's attention to detail and dramatic composition serve to convey the heroism and strategic acumen of the British defenders, as well as the sheer scale and ferocity of the engagement.

As a historical document, the painting provides valuable insight into the military technology and naval warfare of the late 18th century. It also reflects the patriotic fervor and national pride of the period, commemorating a significant British victory in the broader context of the American Revolutionary War.
