A Sunken Russian Frigate By CHRISTOFFER H. ERICSSON Johan Tietrich Schoultz (1754-1807?), the Battle of Svensksund, July 9, 1790 at its height. To the left the Swedish center, anchored, fights the deep Russian center. On the right, the Nicholas is seen capsized and lying flat. In the foreground, Swedish oar-propelled gunboats fire. A Russian galley on the rocks is boarded by gun boats with blue flags. The picture is one of many versions as seen from the west: the artist was a petty officer on one of the Swedish galleys anchored behind the heavy Swedish artillery ships. 172
