The Battle of Copenhagen, Lord
Nelson's naval battle scene by Nicholas Pocock. Naval art prints of the
battle of Copenhagen available from Cranston Fine Arts, the naval art
company. Range of naval prints by Nicholas Pocock available.
The
key to Nelsons victories always lay in his meticulous planning and the
Battle of Copenghagen was no exception as he used his fleet to first
destroy the Danish floating defences so that his bomb vessels could be
brought up to bombard the city itself. The Danes eventually
capitulated, but they had fought hard and over 2,000 men had died on
both sides before the end of the battle. In this view, HMS
Elephant, carrying the flag of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, dominates
the scene as the battle gathers intensity. British ships depicted,
left to right, are the Glatton (54), Elephant (74), Ganges (74) and
Monarch (74).
Battle of Copenhagen 1801 by Ole Feldbaek.
Of all the many actions he fought Horatio Nelson, Englands greatest naval hero, claimed that the Battle of Copenhagen was the hottest. Yet while others such as the Nile and the fateful Trafalgar have been minutely analysed, historians have waited patiently for a truly comprehensive account of this engagement between the British Fleet and the determined Danish defenders. This highly readable book focuses on this epic battle which should be remembered for more than the Nelsonian blind eye incident. The gallantry of the Danes, epitomised by the performance of the 17 year-old Lieutenant Peter Willemoes must never be overlooked. This and much more is revealed in Ole Feldbaeks The Battle of Copenhagen, 1801.
