Raid on La Goulette (1609)

The raid on La Goulette of 1609 was a naval attack by Spanish captain Luis Fajardo, at the head of a Spanish fleet and a French ship, on La Goulette, the main port of Ottoman Tunisia. The attack was done in response to previous acts of Barbary pirates based off Tunis and led to the destruction of the local fleet in port, which included English renegades like Jack Ward and Francis Verney.
