Gálvez's army sailed from New Orleans aboard a small fleet of transports on January 28. On February 10, the Spaniards landed near Fort Charlotte. The outnumbered British garrison resisted stubbornly until the sight of several hundred regular infantry and artillerymen rowing ashore to bolster Gálvez's army broke their resolve on March 9 (the garrison commander, Captain Elias Durnford, had expected relief from Pensacola which never arrived). Their capitulation secured the west shore of Mobile Bay from the British and opened the path for Spanish operations against Pensacola.
