The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The British Commander-in-Chief, East Indies, Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, led a force of four ships of the line, two frigates and brig to the capital of Java at Batavia, in search of the squadron, which posed a threat to British shipping in the Straits of Malacca and was reported to consist of a number of ships of the line and several smaller vessels.
- Eventually, the British discovered the Dutch ships of the line had already sailed eastwards towards Griessie over a month earlier, and Pellew only discovered the frigate Phoenix and six smaller warships in the bay, all of which were driven ashore by their crews to avoid engaging Pellew's force.
- The wrecks were subsequently burnt and Pellew, unaware of the whereabouts of the main Dutch squadron, returned to his base at Madras for the winter.
