The War in Denmark: the Austro-Prussian Squadron at Cuxhaven after its defeat off Heligoland, 1864. Creator: Smyth
The War in Denmark: the Austro-Prussian Squadron at Cuxhaven after its defeat off Heligoland, 1864....a view of the Austro-Prussian squadron lying off Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe, whither it returned on the day after its battle with the three Danish ships, which it encountered between that place and the British island of Heligoland. The largest ship of this squadron is the Austrian frigate Schwartzenberg, of fifty guns, which is easily distinguished, for she has lost her foremast and bowsprit, from the foresail being set on fire by one of the Danish shells. She has thirty guns between decks and twenty on the upper deck, including a rifled gun fore and aft. The next ship, about the centre of our view, and placed farther back than the Schwartzenberg, is [The Radetszky] a frigate of thirty guns. Two Prussian gun-boats, which also took part in the action, are seen on our right hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A somber reminder of naval defeat: The Austro-Prussian Squadron at Cuxhaven after its crushing loss off Heligoland, captured in a poignant photograph print. Taken by renowned photographer Smyth in 1864, this striking image conveys the magnitude of failure as the defeated squadron lies anchored off Cuxhaven's mouth on the Elbe River.
The largest ship, Austrian frigate Schwartzenberg, stands out with its mangled foremast and bowsprit - a testament to the intense bombardment it endured. Her hull bears scars from Danish shells that set her foresail ablaze. The Radetszky, another frigate of thirty guns, is seen in the distance.
Two Prussian gun-boats on the right-hand side of this haunting scene also participated in the fateful battle. This photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of war and its impact on those who fought it.
