The Impregnable, Albion and Suberbe ought to have taken up the position marked x but by some accident perhaps owing to smoke they anchored where they are noted. The guns fired over the town the whole time we were at anchor they annoyed us a little, the Forts (aa) also fired at us, as did the Dutch. The Fish Market Battery was never silenced it cut us up a good deal. The Leander received a great deal of damage from it, the guns in the battery were mostly 12 pounders and were therefore easily managed. At most of the batteries the guns were so large they projected a long way beyond the walls and it was not in the power of the Algerians to fire above once in a quarter of an hour or 20 mins. The casemates were so remarkably strong that our fire did not hurt them much except the part (dg) immediately opposed to the fire of Queen Charlotte which was rather damaged although well marked. The batteries were quite white before the action but after the attack they were quite brown. I do not suppose that there was a space of two square feet in the wall of the Mole that was not hit by shot.Light House Towers, was very much injured the upper towers nearly knocked down to the casemates of the lower guns kept up a very heavy fire during the whole of the action as did all the three casemates except towards (de) also the guns in the Mole batteries that were not in casemates were deserted by the enemy soon after the action began.'unframed on a card mount, subject size 31x 48cm*Notes- The Bombardment of Algiers on the 27th August 1816 was an attempt by the British fleet under Lord Exmouth to end the slavery practices of the Dey of Algiers and free the European slaves captured under piracy.
