Framed Print of H.M.S. Niobe bombarding San Fernando Castle, Omoa, 1873. Creator: Unknown
H.M.S. Niobe bombarding San Fernando Castle, Omoa, Spanish Honduras, 1873. General Streber had...perpetrated serious outrages...Hearing of this, the Niobe...proceeded to the scene of action...Omoa Castle is a huge casemated fortification on the sea beach, built formerly to protect Spanish interests from the buccaneers...the parapets mounting twelve or fourteen guns, most of them very ancient ordnance. There were 300 to 400 soldiers [in] what was considered the impregnable fortress on the coast. All peaceable overtures being summarily rejected, General Streber pointed his guns on the ship, trusting that his stone walls would defy the Niobe's guns. He paraded his troops on the parapet and gave three derisive cheers...the Niobe steamed into position, and in a few hours made considerable havoc in the walls with her seven-inch guns...no signs of yielding being apparent, the castle was again shelled for an hour...The desired effect was now produced...a white flag was seen waving frantically from the fort. After some diplomatic correspondence, all the British demands were complied with, and it was thus proved that English people and their flag could not be insulted with impunity. We are obliged to Lieutenant B. G. Deane, R.N. for the sketch'. From Illustrated London News, 1873. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
