1694 battle of the Nine Years' War

The Battle of Texel was a sea battle fought during the Nine Years' War on 29 June 1694, when a force of eight French ships, under Jean Bart, recaptured a French convoy, which had earlier that month been taken by the Dutch, and captured three ships of the escorting force under Hidde Sjoerds de Vries. De Vries was captured by the French, but shortly after died of wounds.
