Watts' West Indies and Virginia expedition also known as the Action of Cape Tiburon was an English expedition to the Spanish Main during the Anglo–Spanish War. The expedition began on 10 May and ended by 18 July 1590 and was commanded by Abraham Cocke and Christopher Newport. This was financed by the highly renowned London merchant John Watts. The English ships intercepted and dispersed Spanish convoys capturing, sinking, and grounding many ships off the Spanish colonies of Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica. Despite losing an arm, Newport was victorious and captured a good haul of booty. A breakaway expedition from this discovered that the Roanoke Colony was completely deserted and which gave the name The Lost Colony.

  • La Spedizione di Watts nelle Indie Occidentali ed in Virginia nota anche col nome di Azione di Capo Tiburon fu una spedizione inglese nello Spanish Main nel corso della guerra anglo-spagnola. La spedizione ebbe inizio il 10 maggio e si concluse il 18 luglio 1590 e venne comandata da Abraham Cocke e da Christopher Newport. Questa venne finanziata in larga parte dal noto mercante londinese . Le navi inglesi intercettarono e dispersero i convogli spagnoli, affondando molte navi presso le colonie spagnole di Hispaniola, Cuba ed in Giamaica. Pur avendo perso un braccio nei combattimenti, Newport risultò vittorioso, catturando un ricco bottino. Una parte di questa spedizione portò a scoprire che la colonia di Roanoke era stata lasciata deserta, guadagnandole il soprannome di La Colonia perduta. (it)
