Danish Naval Actions and London Address July 30 1703
Reports from Copenhagen and Stralsund describe Admiral Raab reinforcing the fleet with three warships as Danes shell the Isle of Rugen and face Swedish ships under Admiral Scheldt. Swedish frigates bombard but withdraw, with ongoing Channel maneuvers near Usedom. London notes the Lord Mayor’s address to the King warning of a possible invasion, praising the Church of England, and detailing knighthoods and court proceedings while reporting other political appointments and the riot sentences.
