Title
Nederlands: SCHEEPS-GEVECHT, Tusschen een Engelschen en Hollandtschen Visscher; Gheschiedt op den 9. Augustus, 1652.
English: SHIP FIGHT, Between an English and a Dutch Fisherman; Ghest on the 9. August, 1652.
Description
English: A broadside of a skirmish between Dutch and English fishermen just after the outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War in July 1652.

A view of a dispute between English and Dutch fishing vessels in the North Sea between Dogger Bank and the Schlagen Reef, 9 August 1652. First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-1654).

The catalysts for the First Anglo-Dutch War were first, the passing of the Navigation Act which was aimed against Dutch shipping and, second, the disputes over control of the profitable herring fishing in the North Sea. War had been declared between the two countries on 10 July 1652, just a month before this skirmish between two herring fishing boats took place.

This incident, according to the manuscript note below the print, was reported in the Hollantsche Mercurius for 1652, under the accounts for August of that year. It seems that the confrontation occurred somewhere between the Dogger Bank and a shoal known then as the Schager Reef between English and Dutch fishing vessels. The Dutch appear to have been Vlielanders, coming from one of the Frisian islands. The two sides appear to have taunted each other and the Dutch threw stones and flaming sticks into the English ship, getting the better of their foes. In the aftermath, the Dutch captain, Jonge Kees was given a medal, which hung on a blue cord, on one side of which were the arms of the Admiralty and on the other a depiction of the two ships. His portrait is top left of the view and the presentation of his medal is shown top right.
