lighter "Catalana"
"Lancha" can be a lighter; "Catalana" could be the name gien to it.
In March 1781 when Galvez landed his troops on Santa Rosa Island it must have been an awesome sight. There were those great ships-of-the-line (the really big "Wooden Walls", Frigates, and a number of smaller recently captured vessels used as <<<lighters>>> to land provisions and troops onto the beach. Perhaps more than 40 ships! Some 1400 troops were landed onto Santa Rosa Island
