This day - May 28th 1588 - the ill fated Spanish Armada with 130 ships and 30,000 men set sail from Lisbon heading for the English Channel ( it would take until May 30th for all the ships to leave port).
The were later to suffer a heavy defeat by Sir. Francis Drake and the fleet scattered and destroyed.
And thus England saved from invasion ..... again !!
