Epic Naval Duel - Captain Asks Enemy for Ammo!

Norwegian Captain Peter Tordenskjold faced British Captain James Moodie in a fierce battle that lasted 14 hours. As both ships were battered and Tordenskjold’s ammunition ran low, he sent a message to Moodie, politely thanking him for the honorable fight and even requesting to borrow ammunition to continue. Moodie, though amused, refused the request. Despite this, both captains exchanged drinks in a show of mutual respect before their ships parted ways. The encounter ended without a clear victor but left a legendary mark on naval history.
