Battle of Silda (''Affæren ved Silden'' or ''Affæren ved Stadt'') was a naval battle fought on 23 July 1810 between the United Kingdom and Denmark–Norway near the Norwegian island of Silda in Sogn og Fjordane county. The battle occurred during the Gunboat War, itself part of the Napoleonic Wars. In the battle, two British frigates captured or destroyed three or four Dano-Norwegian gunboats. The Danish and British accounts of the battle differ. ==Danish account== The Dano-Norwegian Navy had based three gun-schooners ''Odin'', ''Thor'' and ''Balder'' and the gun-barge ''Cort Adeler'' at the pilot station on Silda. However, only the first two of these, plus a third, smaller gunboat, were involved in the battle. On the 23 July the British frigates , Captain Richard Byron, and , Captain William Ferris, attacked. One of the Norwegian boats was able to hit at least one of the British boats, killing several British soldiers. Still, the British captured the station. The crew of one of the Danish boats scuttled their vessel and escaped. The British took the other three Danish vessels as prizes and sent their crews to imprisonment in England. The British also raided civilian ships moored in the vicinity. The British raided farms several places along the coast both before and after this incident.
