Battered English and Dutch ships lie in Goeree Gat after the indecisive engagement known as the Four
Days’ Battle (11–14 June 1666). In the foreground is the captured warship the Swiftsure, with the English royal

flag droops off its stern. At the far right is the Hollandia, the heavily damaged ship of Cornelis Tromp.
