Attack of the Danish fleet on Puck 1571

-

The attack of the Danish fleet on Puck - an operation which took place on 29 July 1571 in Puck completed the abduction of a dozen units of the Polish captain fleet to Copenhagen.

Background

After the end of the First Northern War, the Swedish and Polish fleets continued to fight against the Russian navy's sailing. Both fleets avoided direct attack on Danish naval units. Denmark has treated the Polish captaincy business on an equal footing with Corsair, taking action against the Polish capitals, trying to prevent Poland from consolidating itself in the Baltic. Attack

In July 1571, 8 squadrons of Danish ships led by Admiral Frank were transported to the Bay of Gdansk. On July 29, two Danish naval ships attempted to take refuge in coastal waters. Then the Danes landed on the Helm's Spit without encountering resistance. The Danish fleet entered the Puck Bay, where they docked 13 cruisers with their 5 ships. The Danes broke the resistance of the few Polish crews, captured all the ships, escaped them from the harbor and all the units were abducted to Copenhagen. As a result of this action, the Polish captain fleet lost almost half of the units. Epilogue

At the end of August 1571, Danish ships reappeared in the waters of the Bay of Gdansk. But the Polish ships managed to leave Puck this time and took refuge in Gdansk. The Danes blocked the entrance to the Gdansk port for two weeks, demanding the release of the captain ships. Gdansk city council did not meet their demands, which served the Danes as an excuse to announce the blockade of the Gdansk port. Within it, they captured 20 Gdansk ships and detained 34 ships in Sunna. Bibliography
