Drifted naval action recounts of Dutch engagement in 1653
Fragmentary account describes ships named Galind and Oate and a fired frigate, with many men saved. It notes Captain Trimm was killed shortly after dawn. Parliament prays for mercy and glory, while General Adonels letters describe a Dutch fleet of about 97 ships pursued by English forces near Camperden in late July 1653, with engagements and weather challenges changing the action.
