Nelson forcing the passage of the sound, 30 March 1801, prior to the Battle of Copenhagen, 1801-15 (oil on canvas)
7337695 Nelson forcing the passage of the sound, 30 March 1801, prior to the Battle of Copenhagen, 1801-15 (oil on canvas) by Dodd, Robert (1748-1815); 61x91.4 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Robert Dodd
Early on the morning of 30 March 1801 the British fleet sailed for the narrow neck of the Sound between Kronborg Castle, at Elsinore and Sweden, the event recorded in this painting. Although very narrow the range was too great for the Danish batteries to inflict any damage. The leading British ship, the Monarch, 74 guns, commanded by Captain James Robert Mosse, is in the right foreground, almost bow on and in port-bow view. She is followed to the right by the Elephant, 74 guns, in starboard-bow view, with Nelson flying his flag as Vice-Admiral of the Blue. Kronborg Castle stands on the left, this side of the gun-smoke in the middle distance, with a little harbour for small craft in the left foreground. The rearmost British ships are in the left background, in starboard-bow view, leaving the Kattegat to enter the Sound. They cleared the Sound the same day to anchor off the Swedish island of Hven, ready for the attack on Copenhagen.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting by Robert Dodd captures the intense moment when Admiral Nelson forced the passage of the Sound on 30 March 1801, just before the Battle of Copenhagen. The British fleet sailed through the narrow neck between Kronborg Castle and Sweden, with Nelson's flagship 'Elephant' leading the way.
The painting beautifully depicts the dramatic scene as British ships navigate through the treacherous waters, with smoke billowing in the distance from Danish batteries. The 'Monarch', commanded by Captain James Robert Mosse, is shown in a powerful stance in the foreground, followed closely by Nelson's own ship.
Kronborg Castle looms ominously on one side, while small craft dotting a harbor add a sense of scale to this historic event. The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork brings to life an important moment in naval history when Nelson demonstrated his strategic brilliance and daring leadership.
As Vice-Admiral of the Blue, Nelson's presence is felt throughout this painting as he leads his fleet towards victory. This masterpiece serves as a reminder of Nelson's legendary career and his pivotal role in shaping Britain's maritime supremacy during this era.
