EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the chaos and destruction of the nighttime attack on Upnor Castle by Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter during the Raid on the River Medway in June 1667. The Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667) was a pivotal moment in the naval history of Europe, and this event, in particular, marked a significant victory for the Dutch. The scene is set against the backdrop of the 17th century, with the dark night illuminated only by the flickering flames and smoke rising from the burning English ships and fortress. Upnor Castle, a strategic fortification in Kent, England, is under relentless assault from the Dutch fleet, led by the formidable Admiral de Ruyter. The Dutch ships, silhouetted against the night sky, are a testament to their naval prowess, their powerful cannons trained on the fortress. The English defenders, caught off guard, are scrambling to respond, their efforts futile against the well-coordinated Dutch attack. The English flag, once proudly flying high above the castle, is now in disarray, a symbol of the defeat that is unfolding. This print, created in the 1660s, is a poignant reminder of the turbulent historical events that shaped the maritime world of the time. The Raid on the River Medway marked the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War and had far-reaching consequences for both the English and Dutch navies. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the battle, transporting us back to a time when the fate of nations could be decided on the open sea.
