Framed Print of The Civil War in Spain: Bombardment of Alicante, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The Civil War in Spain: Bombardment of Alicante, 1873. The bombardment of this peaceful seaport town...was perpetrated by the two ironclad frigates Numancia and Mendez Nunez, with the wooden ship Fernando el Catolico [of the Intransigentes or Communists from Carthagena]...the inhabitants were enabled to...erect three batteries, of 24-pounders and one mortar, enough to prevent a landing. The fort is an ancient building, armed only with five 18-pounders, which have been there fifty years. But these means of defence were augmented by the arrival of two heavy siege guns from Madrid...The bombardment commenced between six and seven o'clock in the morning, and was kept up by the two ironclads till half-past eleven...At noon, finding that their ammunition was only wasted, the Numancia and Mendez Nunez, with the Fernando el Catolico, which had kept out of harm's way, left Alicante to return to Carthagena, followed by the British [Royal Navy] ships Swiftsure and Doris...The positions of the defenders batteries are shown in [the sketch by] Lieutenant Gerard Bromley, of H.M.S. Endymion'. From Illustrated London News, 1873. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
