High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Algeciras campaign, or the Battles of Algeciras, was a brief naval campaign fought between a combined French and Spanish Navy force against a British Royal Navy force between 4 – 13 July 1801. A French squadron, seeking to join with the Spanish fleet and a number of French ships at the Spanish Atlantic base of Cadiz, sailed from Toulon on 13 June under Contre-Admiral Charles Linois. Rounding the British naval base of Gibraltar on the southern coast of Spain on 4 July, Linois learned that a British squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir James Saumarez was on station off Cadiz. Seeking to avoid battle with Saumarez's much larger force, Linois anchored in the Spanish port of Algeciras, close to Gibraltar. Saumarez discovered Linois there on 6 July and attacked immediately, his ships hampered by light winds and Linois's strong defensive position.
