The Raid on Boulogne in 1804 was a naval assault by elements of the Royal Navy on the fortified French port of Boulogne, during the Napoleonic Wars. It differed from the conventional tactics of naval assaults of the period by utilizing a wide range of new equipment produced by the American-born inventor Robert Fulton, with the backing of the Admiralty. Despite its ambitious aims the assault produced little material damage to the French fleet anchored in the harbour, but did perhaps contribute to a growing sense of defeatism amongst the French as to their chances of crossing the English Channel in the face of the Royal Navy and launching a successful invasion of the United Kingdom.

  • ブローニュの襲撃(ブローニュのしゅうげき、Raid on Boulogne)は、ナポレオン戦争中の1804年に、イギリス海軍の一部によって、フランスのブローニュの港の要塞が襲撃されたものである。この襲撃はその当時のありきたりな戦術とは違い、海軍本部の支援を受けたアメリカ生まれの発明家、ロバート・フルトンの手になる、広範囲に及ぶ新型兵器を活用したものだった。目標はかなり高かったにもかかわらず、この襲撃が、ブローニュに停泊中のフランス艦隊に与えた物理的損害は、さほどのものではなかった。しかし、イギリス海軍の目と鼻の先にある英仏海峡を渡って、イギリス侵攻を行おうとしたフランス軍の間に、敗北主義的な意識を高めることに寄与したではあろう。 (ja)
