Coupe de la Machine Infernale, Que les Anglois employerent aux Bombardemens de Saint Marlo en 1693, de Diepe et de Dunquerque en 1694. Voyés l'histoire de Louis XIV. par De Larrey page 136, 138, 190 et 192.
[n.d., c.1720.]
Engraving. 355 x 225mm (14 x 8¾"), large margins.
A cross-section of an 'Infernal Machine', one of a fleet of ships filled with bombs, powder, tar, animal fat and scrap metal, built by the English as a weapon to destroy French ports, under the command of John Benbow. When used against St Malo one was sailed by a crew of six towards the harbour, but a gust of wind blew it off course and onto a reef, where it exploded, killing the crew of six. The blast damaged houses in the town, but there were no reported casualties. An attempt on Dunkirk the following year was also unsuccessful, as the French blocked the entrance. From Isaac de Larrey's 'Histoire de France sous le règne de Louis XIV'. Unsurprisingly this French description does not mention the more successful attack on Dieppe in 1694, which devastated the town.
