The earthquake was felt over a large area including La Habana and Jamaica. A damage distribution with reference to urban settlements is provided. The total number of casualties is estimated at 34 to 40 dead and 700 injured. A tsunami did not occur. The approximate location of the epicentre was 19.9oN, -76.1oW, in the Bartlett – Caimán Fault Zone. The focal depth is estimated at 25 km, the epicentral intensity is estimated at IX (MSK) and the magnitude (MS) at 6.8. Between 1578 and 1842 this sector experienced other strong seismic events: four of I=8 (MSK) and six of I=7 (MSK).La información del terremoto reportado en Santiago de Cuba el día 11 de junio de 1766 ha sido re-evaluada en detalle. Para ello se han empleado datos del Archivo de Indias, Sevilla, y de otras fuentes bibliográficas. Este terremoto fue perceptible en un área muy extensa que incluyó a La Habana y a Jamaica. Fue posible cartografiar la distribución de los daños producidos en las diferentes poblaciones. El número total de fallecidos se situó entre 34 y 40 personas y en 700 los heridos. No se produjo tsunami. La localización aproximada del epicentro es 19.9oN, -76.1oW, dentro de la zona de fallas de Bartlett – Caimán. La profundidad focal se fijó a 25 km, mientras que la intensidad sísmica estimada fue IX (MSK) y la magnitud (Ms) alcanzó el valor de 6.8. Entre los años 1578 y 1842 en este sector marino se reportaron otros terremotos fuertes: cuatro de I=8 (MSK) y seis de I=7 (MSK).Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
