The Battle of Copenhagen - HMS Glattons Bravest Day by Ivan Berryman (PC)
The battle of Copenhagen was long and hard-fought and Admiral Parker
ordered Admiral Nelson to withdraw, an order that Nelson ignored.
At one point a Danish frigate moved swiftly to attack Nelsons flagship
HMS Elephant, but Captain Bligh of HMS Glatton sailed his ship directly
into the broadside to protect the flagship. The Glatton, already displaying
some damage, somehow survived the terrible barrage inflicted to its hull
by the low-firing Danish vessel. The Elephant was saved and the battle
eventually won with the unconditional capitulation of Denmark. It was
surely Captain Blighs finest hour and an act of selfless bravery. In the
background, HMS Bellona is aground on a sand bank, one of three British
ships that failed to navigate the narrow channel.
