Description:
The Armada was attacked by English ships, but forced its way through the English Channel, coming to a halt in the open water of the North Sea off the Gravelines, the coastal border area between France and the Spanish Netherlands. While awaiting communications from Parma’s army a fire ship attack drove the Armada ships from their anchorage, forcing them to break ranks and scatter, whereupon it was attacked by 197 ships of the English fleet. In the ensuing Battle of Gravelines a small number of the Armada’s ships were lost, and the Spanish abandoned their rendezvous with Parma’s army.
