EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and bravery of the Defence of Le Havre during the Napoleonic Wars in 1804. The harbor city of Le Havre, France, was under relentless bombardment by the English Navy, determined to weaken Napoleon Bonaparte's hold on the Atlantic coast. In the midst of this chaos, Pierre Baste, a courageous commander of a small gunboat, launched a daring counter-attack against the English fleet. With unyielding determination, Baste led his vessel towards the enemy, firing its cannons with precision and skill. The English ships returned fire, their powerful broadsides creating plumes of water and smoke. Amidst the chaos, Baste's gunboat was sunk, but the commander and his crew did not give up. With unwavering resolve, Baste and his men quickly boarded another vessel nearby and continued their valiant defense of Le Havre. This historical photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the events of that fateful day. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the battle, with the English ships looming ominously in the background and the French gunboat, now engulfed in flames and smoke, sinking beneath the waves. The determination and bravery of Commander Pierre Baste and his crew are palpable, as they continue their fight against the English attackers. This photograph is a testament to the revolutionary spirit of the time, as the French people, led by their brave commanders, refused to surrender to the English invasion. The Defence of Le Havre remains an important chapter in the annals of French military history, and this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination that defined the era.
