Marlborough moves flags as fleets clash near Beechey Head
Amid reports from Dover to Dublin, fleets collide off Beechey Head in a sharp sea action. The Royal Oak sustains heavy damage, Clyde sparred, and Graffton and Hampton Court press the Dunkirk squadron. Casualties run high, and merchant vessels suffer losses. Communications from Lisbon and Liege suggest broader European shifts and strategic reckonings.
