The English Naval Attack on Damme

  • As Philip’s forces besieged Ghent, news arrived that the English fleet had struck a devastating blow at Damme, where Philip had stationed his invasion fleet.
  • English forces captured many of Philip’s ships while the remaining vessels were trapped in the harbor under heavy blockade.
  • With his naval forces effectively neutralized, Philip’s ability to move troops or supplies by sea was crippled.
