Description: Battle of Zealand Point. 22 March 1808: The only naval ship of the Danish navy, Prince Christian Frederik, was surrounded by the English fleet during the Battle of Sealand. "They played everything over the open grave and the waves were made so red," Grundtvig wrote after the Danes had lost against the odds. The surviving Danish sailors were taken prisoner and taken to the prison in Chatham outside London. (Watercolor by A G. Gross / The Maritime Museum, Helsingør).
