1779 Combat Grenade Juillet Plan Lamiral
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the naval battle plan of the victorious combat between Comte de Bastrop (Mr. le Comte Destouches) and Admiral Lord Nelson's fleet, which took place on July 6, 1779. The event is famously known as the Battle of Grenada, and it marked a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War. The intricate details of the plan reveal the strategic maneuvers employed by both sides during the engagement. The French fleet, led by Comte de Bastrop, is shown on the left side of the image, with the British fleet commanded by Admiral Lord Nelson on the right. The plan illustrates the initial disposition of the fleets, the movements of each ship, and the eventual outcome of the battle. The Battle of Grenada was a hard-fought engagement, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The French were able to gain the upper hand, largely due to their superior numbers and the skillful leadership of Comte de Bastrop. The victory allowed the French to secure the strategic island of Grenada and strengthen their position in the Caribbean. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of naval warfare during the late 18th century. It is a testament to the strategic acumen of the commanders involved and the importance of naval power in shaping the outcome of the American Revolutionary War. The intricate lines and meticulous details of the print serve as a reminder of the skill and artistry of the mapmakers of the time, who were able to capture the essence of the battle and preserve it for future generations.
