The Battle of Solebay, 7 June 1672, just after two o'clock in the afternoon, seen from the northwest: right part, Willem van de Velde (I), 1673 Canvas Print
The Battle of Solebay, June 7, 1672, just after 2 p.m., seen from the northwest: right part. This two-part drawing depicts a moment from the Battle of Solebay in 1672. In this opening battle of the third English Naval War, the State Fleet led by Admiral De Ruyter fought against the combined Anglo-French fleet off the coast of Suffolk, near Solebay. As with previous naval battles, Willem van de Velde sailed on board his galleon on the Dutch side. The battle is in full swing. The left sheet shows, among other things, the Dolphin, the ship of Lieutenant-Admiral Willem Joseph, Baron Van Ghent who would die in this battle. The burning ship Royal James is partly on the left and partly on the right part. This frigate of Admiral Edward Mountagu, Earl of Sandwich, was hit by a Dutch burner around 2 p.m. The Royal Prince, the flag ship of the Duke of York that was so damaged before noon that the Duke had to transfer his flag to St. Michael, was originally placed by Van de Velde at the top right of the south axis of the wind rose, but was covered by him with a piece of paper.
