Alfreds Galleys Attacking the Viking Dragon Ships, 897 by Harry Payne (PC)
In 895, Alfred captured the Viking fleet on the Lea, and drove the Danes
to Quatbridge, where he besieged their camp. By the Spring they had lost
all heart and the great army scattered and disappeared. Alfred then
built improved war-vessels to guard against marauding Danish galleys in
the Channel and during the year 897 destroyed more than twenty pirate
vessels. One fight is recorded between nine of Alfreds ships and six
Danish off the Isle of Wight.
Historical book plate published in 1920.
