Cochrane had failed in his attempt to capture the Chiloé Archipelago for Chile.
O'Higgins had ordered him to convoy the Liberation Army of General José de San Martín to Peru, blockade the coast, and support the campaign for independence.
Forces under Cochrane's personal command cut out and capture the frigate Esmeralda, the most powerful Spanish ship in South America, in November 5, 1820.
