The War in Denmark: the Austro-Prussian Squadron at Cuxhaven after its defeat off Heligoland, 1864. '...a view of the Austro-Prussian squadron lying off Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe, whither it returned on the day after its battle with the three Danish ships, which it encountered between that place and the British island of Heligoland. The largest ship of this squadron is the Austrian frigate Schwartzenberg, of fifty guns, which is easily distinguished, for she has lost her foremast and bowsprit, from the foresail being set on fire by one of the Danish shells. She has thirty guns between decks and twenty on the upper deck, including a rifled gun fore and aft. The next ship, about the centre of our view, and placed farther back than the Schwartzenberg, is [The Radetszky] a frigate of thirty guns. Two Prussian gun-boats, which also took part in the action, are seen on our right hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
