The War in Denmark: village of Eckersünde and bridge of boats..., 1864. Creator: Unknown
The War in Denmark: village of Eckernsunde and bridge of boats, 1864. 'Our Special Artist has made a sketch of Eckernsunde, which is engraved in anticipation of some future attempt by the Danish naval forces to cut off the Prussian communications at that point. The Rolf Krake...came into the waters of Eckernsunde, apparently with this purpose, on the 18th of February, but was compelled by the fire of the Prussian batteries to withdraw. The piece of water shown in our Engraving is a narrow strait connecting the lagoon of Nybel Noer, in the Sundewitt Peninsula, with the Gulf of Flensburg...the head-quarters of the Prussian division immediately engaged in the attack on Duppel and Sonderburg are fixed in Broagerland...It is evident that, if the Danes could, by means of the Rolf Krake and their gunboats entering from the Gulf of Flensburg, succeed in destroying the bridge of boats at Eckernsunde, the Prussians would have no other road left open to them between Gravenstein and Broacker than the circuitous road which passes all round the Nybel Noer...But the vast numerical superiority of the Prussians on land far more than outweighs the advantage bestowed upon the Danes by their command of the sea'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
