The Battle of Texel was a sea battle fought during the Nine Years' War on 29 June 1694, when a force of 8 French ships, under Jean Bart, recaptured a French convoy, which had earlier that month been taken by the Dutch, and captured 3 ships of the 8-ship escorting force under Hidde de Vries. De Vries was captured by the French, but shortly after died of wounds.^[1]
