Maritime record TQ 77 SE 1421 - 1667 wreck of Dutch fireship (No. 3) which attacked the LOYAL LONDON, during the Raid on the Medway
Summary
1667 wreck of Dutch fireship which attacked the LOYAL LONDON , sunk as a blockship between Chatham and Upnor during the Raid on the Medway. The LOYAL LONDON is depicted in a contemporary Dutch source as having been fired on the Upnor side. Four other Dutch fireships were also expended in this phase of the attack: one other fireship attacked the LOYAL LONDON, two fired the ROYAL JAMES, and a further fireship set the ROYAL OAK ablaze. Constructed of wood, the ROTTERDAM was a sailing vessel. One of the five expended fireships was subsequently sold at auction in 1669, but it is unclear which of these five it was.
