Meanwhile the Danish main body is taking a drubbing from several British ships at once.
It was at this point that Hyde-Parker signaled that the action should be broken off to which Neil Nelson turned a blind eye.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
The Frigate Squadron of Captain Manley now forced the surrender of Trakoner fort and the Union Flag was raised above the decimated fort.

With the van of Lord Nelson's squadron closing on the few remaining Danish ships, he sent in a boat under a flag of truce to start surrender nagotiations and put an end to the needless loss of any more Danish lives. To all intents and purposes the battle was now over.

Thanks Eric. It was taken from a painting of the battle with the ships and mortar shell tracks edited out.

Now a few shots from the afternoon Pirates game where the pirates battle each other in order to capture the Spanish treasure ship aprehended earlier by Algerine Corsairs.
