This print captures the dramatic moment of the defeat of Barton, a renowned Scottish sailor and privateer, by the sons of the Duke of Norfolk on 2nd August 1511. Sir Andrew Barton, armed with letters of marque from the King of Scotland to attack Portuguese vessels, had unfortunately turned to piracy against English ships instead. In this detailed engraving by W. H. Overend, we witness a scene filled with chaos and intensity. The British Navy's flag proudly flutters atop their ship as smoke billows from cannons firing in all directions. Explosions create an atmosphere of turmoil while brave sailors engage in fierce combat amidst the crashing waves. The image transports us back to this historic battle at sea, showcasing both the might and vulnerability that defined naval warfare during this period.
