From this moment on, Philip II tried to control the Atlantic and the American Indies with his navies, leaving the Mediterranean with hardly any official squadrons.<\/p><p>Due to the unstable relations between Spain and France, the &#8220;Holy War&#8221; against the Ottomans and the clashes with the English, the Spanish crown felt surrounded, which is why corsair activity increased considerably, since, as we have said before, it functioned as another defence system and also as an extraordinary source of income.<\/p><p>There are more than <strong>fifty documented Mallorcans<\/strong> who took part in this <strong>&#8220;lawful war&#8221;<\/strong> or activity, either as shipowners or as captains.

He was born in Palma, in the neighbourhood of <em>Puig de Sant Pere<\/em>, <em>Carrer del Vi<\/em> (currently the seat of the Theatines) and was the son of the skipper of a small fishing vessel. In his early years he worked as a courier between Palma and Barcelona and later, like many sailors, he applied for a privateer&#8217;s licence to defend himself against enemy attacks.<\/p><p>Although he always worked under the patent, he took part in many battles supporting and leading squadrons of the Spanish navy, which is why he was <strong>considered by many to be a military<\/strong> figure and not strictly speaking a privateer.<\/p><p>He rose rapidly up the social and naval ladder. In 1738, thanks to a victory against Algerian ships, he obtained the <strong>rank of ensign<\/strong> in the navy, from which he rose through the ranks to become <strong>lieutenant general<\/strong> of the Spanish navy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc12267 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc12267\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-17dcb8b\" data-id=\"17dcb8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1df2a1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1df2a1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3668dce\" data-id=\"3668dce\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ff62f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ff62f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Thanks to his war merits, he became one of <strong>Charles II&#8217;s favourite sailors<\/strong>, but this privilege, together with his rapid rise in his military and social career, meant that the high officers of the navy were against him, as Capit\u00e0 Toni had humble origins, was illiterate (he only knew how to write his name), coarse and crude in his manners. For this reason, his supporters were always his subordinates or people of the common people.<\/p><blockquote><p><b>\u201cAlthough he is an excellent, he does not have, nor can he have, by his education the qualities of a general\u201d.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote><p>In 1779 he carried out one of his greatest exploits. Charles III put him in charge of the naval forces destined to blockade Gibraltar. To ensure the success of the enterprise, Barcel\u00f3 invented &#8220;gunboats&#8221; with much greater mobility. However, due to palace intrigues against him and tensions between the Mallorcan and the career officers, he was removed from his post and retired to Mallorca. The situation in Gibraltar worsened and Barcel\u00f3 returned to the front. He had a plan of attack but did not have time to carry it out. Spain had signed the Treaty of Versailles, which recognised British sovereignty over the rock. Spain lost Gibraltar to the British. Despite this, the people continued to support Barcel\u00f3 with this ditty:<\/p><blockquote><p><b>\u201cIf Spain had four like Barcel\u00f3, Gibraltar would belong to Spain but not
