Saturday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis 3rd Jul 2021
Saturday Special
The Dutch were thwarted from overwhelming Felixstowe and surrounding areas after being repelled by English soldiers at the Battle of Landguard Fort in July 1667 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Led by Michiel de Ruyter, the Dutch landed marines at Felixstowe Cliffs with scaling ladders who were met by English soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. After landing the troops, the Dutch sailed towards the Rolling Grounds to mount an attack on Landguard Fort. Their attempts to bombard the fort were hampered by the sandbanks around Landguard Spit, and the troops landed from the Dutch ships were driven back by the garrison and by an English warship which fired cannon onto the beach, scattering the shingle like grapeshot.Today's Felixstowe sunrise: 04:41
