One of the most significant Anglo-Dutch naval triumphs before the age of Nelson, in 1692?

Battle of

Quiberon Bay

The English attacked from the east with the rising sun blinding the French crossbowmen, while illuminating their ships perfectly for the English archers. Such was the scale of the victory that the English joked the fish were speaking French because of the number of bodies in the sea.
