Camperdown's casualties, captures, and prize wealth

Measure the cost of Camperdown through heavy losses, eleven captured Dutch warships, and the prize wealth created by victory.

Notes

Camperdown ended in a British victory after a hard fight. The figures quoted are 203 British dead and 622 wounded, against 540 Dutch dead and 620 wounded, with 375 Dutch personnel captured. Nine Dutch ships of the line and two frigates became prizes. Those captures brought substantial prize wealth. The heavy casualties accompany the account of determined Dutch resistance.
