Colonia de Sacramento: Soimetimes Portuguese, Sometimes Spanish

From Wikipedia.

The Lord Clive privateer, which i have been writing about, was attacking this town when it sank.

City in southwestern Uruguay on the Rio de la Plata.  One of the oldest towns in the country and today with a population of around 27,000.

Founded by the Portuguese in 1680.  Conquered by the Spanish in 1680 and returned in 1681.  It was again captured by the Spanish in 1705 after a five-month siege, but returned again under terms of the Treaty of Utrecht.

It was captured again during the Spanish-Portuguese War 1735-1737.  Evidently it was recaptured and in 1762-1763 by Spain.  It was ruled by Portugal 1763-1777.

This Would be a Good Town to Have Both a Portuguese and a Spanish Flag.  --DaCoot
