The Battle of Augusta 22. April 1676, by Jan de Quelery (1957-)

The French fleet consisted of 29 ships of the line, 5 frigates and 8 fireships commanded by Abraham Duquesne. The Dutch-Spanish fleet was composed of 27 ships of the line (17 Dutch-10 Spanish) and 5 fireships, commanded by Lieutenant Admiral General Michiel de Ruyter.

It was a short but fierce naval battle. Neither side lost a ship, but many were killed and wounded, especially on the Dutch side. The battle ended abruptly. The Dutch commander Michiel de Ruyter was seriously injured. When the French admiral Abraham Duquesne learned of this, he decided to withdraw his fleet, out of respect for the legendary naval hero. As a result, the battle ended in a draw.

Michiel de Ruyter died a week later from his injuries

Detail of HMS Royal Charles, 80-guns, first rate, ship-of-the-line, at the raid on the Medway 1667, by Jan de Quelery  (1957-)

Royal Charles was an 80-gun first-rate three-decker ship of the line of the English Navy, and was launched at Woolwich Dockyard in 1655. She was originally called Naseby, named in honour of Sir Thomas Fairfax's decisive 1645 victory over the Royalist forces during the English Civil Wars. She was ordered in 1654 as one of a programme of four second rates, intended to carry 60 guns each. However, she was altered during construction to mount a complete battery of guns along the upper deck (compared with the partial battery on this deck of her intended sisters, on which there were no gunports in the waist along this deck), and so was reclassed as a first rate. 

In 1667 the English national pride was severely damaged during the raid in the Medway, when the Dutch fleet entered the Thames and the Medway, captured the Royal Charles and with great skill took it to Hellevoetsluis in the Netherlands. The Dutch did not put her in their service because she had too much draught to be generally used on the Dutch coast. It served as a tourist attraction until it was stopped by Charles II due to protests. In 1673 she was auctioned for being broken up.
