dbo:abstract
  • The Battle of Gothenburg was a Danish attempt to destroy the Swedish squadron in Gothenburg, which was led by Olof Strömstierna. The Danes were led by the famous Peter Tordenskjold. The Swedish land defence was led by Fredrik of Hessen, and it consisted of the land batteries Billingen and Rya Nabbe with 12 guns each, and the Älvsborg fortress, who had 400 soldiers with 90 guns. The Danish attack was intended as a surprise attack but failed, after the Swedes opened fire at them after they passed Älvsborg fortress. The bombardment was led as a cross-fire from the fortress and the Swedish ships - which went across the river - against Tordenskjold and his soldiers. After 5 hours of fighting, the Danes retreated after losing several ships. (en)
  • Beim Angriff auf Göteborg vom 2. zum 3. Mai 1717 im Großen Nordischen Krieg versuchte eine dänische Flotte unter Kommando von Kapitän Peter Wessel Tordenskiold erfolglos den Hafen von Göteborg und die darin befindliche schwedische Flotte zu zerstören. (de)
  • Anfallet mot Nya Varvet (1717) var en militär drabbning i Göta älvs mynning natten och tidiga morgonen den 2–3 maj (g.s.) 1717, mellan en anfallande dansk flottstyrka och svenska försvarare. För att få slut på den svenska kaparverksamheten utförde den unge kommendören Peder Tordenskjold ett anfall mot hamn- och varvsanläggningarna i Göteborg natten till den 3 maj 1717. På grund av oenighet mellan danska officerare gick överraskningsmomentet förlorat och svenskarna fick tid att organisera försvaret. Efter ett antal timmars strid i Göta älvs mynning slogs anfallet tillbaka. Tordenskjolds omdöme i samband med genomförandet av attacken ifrågasattes senare av hans överordnade. (sv)
