3.3.3.3.2.1.
Worcesters skador
|
| Följande uppgifter är
hämtade ur den rapport som kapten Butler på Worcester 30/7 1704 (31/8 sv. stil)
skickade in till amiralitetet i London. Som syns av förteckningen hade fartyget lidit
rätt ordentligt och man hade bara något färre sårade och döda än vad Öland
hade. Av denna rapport och redogörelserna i ett par av de andra engelska fartygens
loggböcker får man intrycket att Ölands eld främst riktats mot
motståndarfartygens rigg. |
