Description
The Glorious First of June of 1794 was the first and largest fleet action of the naval conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the First French Republic during the French Revolutionary Wars. The British Channel Fleet under Admiral Lord Howe attempted to prevent the passage of a vital French grain convoy from the US, which was protected by the French Atlantic Fleet, commanded by Rear-Admiral Villaret-Joyeuse. English ships inflicted a severe tactical defeat on the French fleet. Both fleets were left shattered; in no condition for further combat, and returned to their home ports. Naval Battles, Ancient and Modern by Edward Shippen, 1883 (cropped and cleaned).
