Hidden story

When cavalry captured a fleet

In the harsh winter of 1795 the fleet was stuck in the ice. French hussars simply rode out to it.

Read the storyClose

In January 1795 French revolutionary troops marched into the Dutch Republic. It was bitterly cold, and near Den Helder part of the Dutch fleet lay frozen in the ice off Texel. A unit of French hussars rode across the ice to the ships. There was no fight: the crews surrendered, partly because the country itself was changing sides. It is one of the very few times in history that cavalry captured a fleet. A few years later Napoleon had Den Helder heavily fortified. Fort Kijkduin is one of the forts from that time.
