@epichistorytv: Dutch beat the English at sea... then 140 of their ships BURN May 1666 gets wild. Michiel de Ruyter's Dutch fleet faces off against the English—epic Four Days Battle, ships clashing across miles of ocean. Dutch tactics are fire, English losses stack up, and the Dutch WIN. 🔥 But wait. Admiral Holmes is NOT done. He finds like 140 Dutch merchant ships just... sitting there in the Vlie Estuary. Can't escape. Shallow water. Perfect targets. So what does he do? FIRE SHIPS. Old vessels packed with combustible materials. Set them all ablaze. 140 ships burning. The entire town goes up. 30 English casualties. London goes CRAZY celebrating. One incredible victory. Then total disaster. That's the Four Days Battle and Holmes' Bonfire for you.
