"A Journal of the Expedition to Carthagena, with Notes by Smollett and Wentworth" is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. This journal serves as a detailed record of military events surrounding the British expedition to Carthagena, particularly in response to criticisms presented in a pamphlet by an unnamed author. The text aims to clarify the actions taken during the expedition, providing a firsthand perspective on military operations, strategies, and challenges faced during the campaign. At the start of the expedition journal, the author outlines the contextual background surrounding the military operation against Carthagena, including strategic preparations leading up to the deployment of the fleet from Jamaica. The initial entries describe the assembly of the naval forces, the resolution to monitor enemy movements, and the fleet's subsequent sailing, detailing the interactions with French forces and the challenges of making contact with the enemy. The opening sets a detailed scene of military maneuvering, giving readers insight into the complexities of naval warfare and the dynamics between various officers as they strategize to achieve their objectives.
