The Capitulation of Saldanha Bay was the surrender in 1796 to the British Royal Navy of a Dutch expeditionary force sent to recapture the Dutch Cape Colony. In 1794, early in the French Revolutionary Wars, the army of the French Republic overran the Dutch Republic which then became a French client state, the Batavian Republic. Great Britain was concerned by the threat the Dutch Cape Colony in Southern Africa posed to its trade routes to British India. It therefore sent an expeditionary force that landed at Simon's Town in June 1795 and forced the surrender of the colony in a short campaign. The British commander, Vice-Admiral Sir George Elphinstone, then reinforced the garrison and stationed a naval squadron at the Cape to protect the captured colony.

  • Mit der Kapitulation in der Saldanhabucht im August 1796 scheiterte der niederländische Versuch, die im Vorjahr an die Briten verlorene Kapkolonie zurückzuerobern. Die in der Saldanhabucht ankernde niederländische Flotte ergab sich kampflos der britischen Royal Navy. (de)
  • De Capitulatie in de Saldanhabaai was de capitulatie van een Nederlands eskader aan de Britten op 17 augustus 1796 in de Saldanhabaai, langs de zuidwestkust van wat nu Zuid-Afrika is. De overgave, zonder slag of stoot, veroorzaakte een groot schandaal in Nederland. (nl)

  • La bataille de la baie de Saldanha (ou Saldanha Bay, de l'anglais) désigne une bataille navale remportée par la marine britannique sur une flotte hollandaise, le 17 août 1796. Elle s'est soldée par la reddition des neuf navires de la flotte néerlandaise à la marine britannique placée sous le commandement de l'amiral George Keith Elphinstone. Une (en) eut lieu au même endroit en 1781, lorsqu'un escadron de marine britannique captura cinq Indiamen appartenant à la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales. (fr)
  • La capitolazione della baia di Saldanha fu una resa avvenuta nelle guerre rivoluzionarie francesi il 17 agosto 1796 tra gli squadroni batavi che alzarono bandiera bianca a quelli inglesi nella baia di Saldanha, presso la Colonia del Capo, in Sudafrica. Nel 1794, all'inizio delle guerre della Rivoluzione francese, l'esercito della repubblica francese aveva sopraffatto quello olandese che da allora divenne uno stato cliente della Francia col nome di Repubblica Batava. La Gran Bretagna si era da subito dimostrata disponibile a minacciare la Colonia del Capo olandese in Sudafrica che era posta proprio sulla via commerciale verso l'India britannica. Venne quindi inviato un corpo di spedizione a Simon's Town nel giugno del 1795 che costrinse alla resa la colonia dopo una breve campagna militare. (it)
