Battle between boats and horses
- In the harsh winter of 1795, the French waged a war against the Republic of the Seven Netherlands in order to spread the ideas of the Revolution in Europe. The storm that captured the Dutch fleet in the Marspied Strait and the anchors were thrown under the cover of the island of Texel. But the waters of the sea had been frozen and the boats had been trapped.
(Irudia: Leon Morel-Fatio)

But no one needed to fire, because the revolutionaries then occupied the government of Amsterdam. The naval forces of the former Republic surrendered without resistance.
