1798 Attacked Combat Corvette Edmond Fierce Frigate Revolutionary Surrenders Terminated Wars


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in naval history during the French Revolutionary Wars, as the corvette La Bayonnaise, under the command of Edmond Richer, engages in a fierce combat with the English frigate Embuscade in October 1798. The image captures the intensity of the battle, with the two vessels locked in a deadly dance, their sails tattered and their cannons belching smoke. The combat began when La Bayonnaise, a French revolutionary warship, was attacked by the English frigate Embuscade, which was attempting to disrupt French supply lines. The French crew, determined to defend their ship and their country, fought valiantly against the English assault. Despite the English frigate's superior firepower, the French managed to board the Embuscade, turning the tide of the battle. In a bold and daring move, the French marines stormed the English ship, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the English crew. The print vividly illustrates the chaos and violence of the boarding action, with French sailors wielding cutlasses and pistols as they fight their way through the English crew. The English flag, which once flew proudly at the masthead, now lies crumpled and defiled on the deck. The combat was finally terminated when the English crew, outnumbered and outmaneuvered, were forced to surrender. The French emerged victorious, having successfully defended their ship and secured a valuable prize in the form of the English frigate. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the naval battles of the French Revolutionary Wars, a time of intense conflict and political upheaval. The image serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination of the sailors who fought during this period, and the importance of naval power in shaping the course of history.
