In 1797 a cutter, by the name of the BLACK JOKE, conveyed a message to
Admiral Adam Duncan, that the Dutch fleet had put to sea. Duncan was
fitting out his fleet at Gt. Yarmouth.
The Dutch were at the time supporting a planned French invasion of
Ireland.
The Dutch fleet was intercepted on the 11th October 1797 off the Dutch
coastal village of Camperduin.
The Battle of Camperdown was fought and won with Admiral Duncan leading
one line of ships and Vice-Admiral Onslow leading another.
