Garibaldi's Thousand arrived at Marsala on 11 May 1860, aided by Royal Navy ships, marking the start of the expedition.
The absence of Bourbons convinced Garibaldi to head towards Marsala, where the Thousand steamers arrived in the early hours of the afternoon of 11 May 1860. The landing was favored by the presence of two Royal Navy ships under Admiral Rodney Mundy in the port of Marsala, the gunboat HMS Argus and sloop-of-war HMS Intrepid.
