Please can someone check this sentence against the source

The article has the following statement that does not altogether make sense:

In 1782, he distinguished himself particularly in the siege of Port Mahon: under fire, he moved to the collision of two British ships laden with arms and ammunition, seized it and conveys to the Spanish lines.

The source for this statement is Santiago de Liniers: Conde de Buenos Aires, p34-35.

What was the name of his ship?
What were the names of the two British ships?
What actually happened?

I understand that he captured at least one of the British ships and took it back to a Spanish-controlled port. I understand that the two British ships were carrying weapons and ammunition.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:21, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Viceroy

The first time the word Viceroy appears in the text, it appears with capital V. After that, it appears always with a small v. Idk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joaquin89uy (talk • contribs) 20:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Date format and English variant

Hello. I'd like to create a consensus about changing the date format of this artice to DMY (e.g. 25 May 1810 instead of May 25, 1810, as that is what is used in Spanish and most of our other articles about Argentine history. Additionally, I suggest using Oxford spelling, as it uses "z" in words such as organization, which is closer to the Spanish organización. While American English also uses this spelling, the UK and Argentina share a significant history, making Oxford spelling a good compromise--Marginataen (talk) 22:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
