This is a story inspired by true facts, although some names are fictitious, the account of sea battles and historical events that molded the northern part of the South American continent are rigorously true. The history of Cartagena, the Spanish and English confrontations, the pirates, the department of El Choc�, the Atrato River and the historic facts about the Darien are also true. Also, I tried to maintain my equanimity in all which is narrated here. The amazing story of Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, the most courageous sea captain of all times is also told here with numerous details in order to prove his bravery during the site of Cartagena. The monstrous defeat suffered by Admiral Vernon in 1741 when he attacked the city and humiliated England to its most, was researched with the utmost care and described here with respect as a lesson of bravery and fairness.No one, absolutely no one has more courage and is not bigger as a warrior of the sea than Blas de Lezo and Olavarrieta, born in Pasajes, on February 3, 1689 - in Guip�zcoa - in Euskera -, which is a Spanish province and historical territory of the autonomous community of the Basque Country-, and died in Cartagena de Indias, in Nueva Granada, on September 7, 1741, just under 4 months after the Cartagena site was completed, with 52 years of age. He did not die from any of his injuries but was defeated by the plague that was generated with the decomposed bodies of thousands of mostly English bodies and mercenaries hooked by Admiral Vernon in Jamaica.
