Crippled but Unconquered: The Belleisle at Trafalgar, October 21st 1895 by W. L Wyllie At the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21 1805, HMS Belleisle, a British 74-gun ship under Captain William Hargood, was one of the first ships to engage the enemy. As part of Admiral Collingwood's column, she became isolated and surrounded by as many as four French and Spanish ships. Despite being heavily damaged, losing all her masts, and nearly unmanageable, Belleisle fought stubbornly and held out until reinforcements arrived. |

The Battle of Manila Bay by Anthony Saunders A splendid little war was how John Hay, ambassador to Britain, described the Spanish-American war of 1898. Though the war was small in scope it was large in consequences; it promoted the regeneration of the American Navy and the emergence of the United States as a major world power. Fought primarily at sea, the war created an American naval legend in its opening encounter between the pacific squadrons of Spain and the United States at Manila Bay on the 1st of May 1898. At sunrise Admiral Dewey, leading the American fleet in his flagship the USS Olympia, had caught the Spanish fleet, under Admiral Patricio Montojo, by surprise - still anchored off Sangley Point at Manila Bay in the Philippine Islands. Defeat for the Spanish was total and heralded the end of a once extensive Spanish empire in the Americas. Montojos flagship, Reina Cristina, is seen here under fire from the Olympia. |

Battle of New Orleans. During the American Civil war , the Union navy attacked the Confederate defences around New Orleans. The Confederates were commanded by Major General Mansfield Lovell who was in New Orleans. The Union ships encountered the River Defense Fleet and CSS Manassas. While the gunboats were easily dealt with, Manassas attempted to ram USS Pensacola, but missed the ship and continued downstream, but managed to manouver to ram the Union ship USS Brooklyn. The Manassas rammed the Brooklyn but failed to strike a fatal blow as it hit Brooklyns full coal bunkers. The Manassas was downstream of the Union fleet now and was unable to make enough speed against the current to engage the Union ships again. As a result, its captain ran it aground where it was destroyed by Union gun fire. |
Kearsarge Sinking The Alabama - June 19th, 1864 by Henry Alexander Ogden The USS Kearsarge sank the CSS Alabama on June 19, 1864, off the coast of Cherbourg, France, during a fierce naval battle in which the Kearsarge's superior firepower proved decisive. This victory marked a significant blow to the Confederate naval campaign and helped diminish the effectiveness of Confederate commerce raiders. |
