The Vigo estuary is home to many different battles and raids in the past being the most important one the Battle of Rande, also known as the Battle of Vigo Bay. This battle took place in 1702, during the first few years of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Anglo-Dutch fleet returning from an unsuccessful attempt to capture Cadiz when they heard about a Spanish treasure (laden with silver and goods) that had recently entered Vigo Bay, but it was being escorted by French war-ships. The Anglo-Dutch troops who outnumbered the French-Spanish troops made it into the estuary and raided the ships. However, when trying to leave the Vigo estuary, the galleon carrying the treasure ran aground on the Cíes Islands waters and sank. No one has ever found this treasure up to this day, but every years French and British expeditions come to this area to try to locate the treasure.
