The Battle of La Guaira or La Guayra, took place on 2 March 1743 in the Caribbean, off the coast of La Guaira, present day Venezuela. La Guaira was a port of the Royal Gipuzkoan Company of Caracas, whose ships had rendered great assistance to the Spanish navy during War of Jenkins' Ear in carrying troops, arms, stores and ammunition from Spain to her colonies, and its destruction would be a severe blow both to the Company and the Spanish Government. A British expeditionary fleet under Sir Charles Knowles was defeated, and the expedition ended in failure. 600 men were killed, among whom was the captain of HMS Burford, and many of the ships were badly damaged or lost. Knowles was therefore unable to proceed to Puerto Cabello until he had refitted.

  • La Batalla de La Guaira o La Guayra, tuvo lugar el 2 de marzo de 1743 en aguas del Mar Caribe, frente a la costa de La Guaira, actual territorio de Venezuela. La Guaira era un puerto perteneciente a la Real Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas, cuyos barcos mantuvieron durante la Guerra del Asiento una estrecha colaboración con la Armada Española transportando armas, soldados, provisiones y munición desde España a los Reinos de Ultramar. Lograr la destrucción de este asentamiento sería un duro varapalo, tanto para la Compañía Guipuzcoana como para el Gobierno Español. Con este objetivo el Almirantazgo británico envió una flota bajo el mando del comodoro Charles Knowles, pero fue derrotada y la expedición terminó en una gran fracaso. Más de 600 hombres murieron, entre ellos el capitán del , y muchos de sus barcos se perdieron o fueron seriamente dañados lo que impidió a Knowles continuar con un ataque más efectivo a Puerto Cabello, según tenía previsto, hasta que no reparó y reabasteció sus naves.​ (es)
