The Dutch invasion of Saint Helena took place in January 1673, capturing the South Atlantic island from the English East India Company (EIC). The Dutch had previously settled the island but abandoned it for their colony at modern-day Cape Town. The Cape proved an inferior anchorage so the Dutch took advantage of the Third Anglo-Dutch War to seize Saint Helena, with little resistance from the EIC garrison.

  • The Dutch invasion of Saint Helena took place in January 1673, capturing the South Atlantic island from the English East India Company (EIC). The Dutch had previously settled the island but abandoned it for their colony at modern-day Cape Town. The Cape proved an inferior anchorage so the Dutch took advantage of the Third Anglo-Dutch War to seize Saint Helena, with little resistance from the EIC garrison. The EIC governor, , escaped to Brazil with a number of soldiers and slaves. He sent word of the loss of the island by sloop, which met with a Royal Navy squadron commanded by Richard Munden. Munden decided to retake the island and in May landed a force under Lieutenant Richard Keigwin. A bombardment by Munden's squadron persuaded the Dutch to surrender. Keigwin was left on the island as governor with an increased garrison. The invasion was the last occasion that the island was taken by a foreign power. (en)
  • La invasión neerlandesa de Santa Elena tuvo lugar en enero de 1673, capturando la isla del Atlántico Sur de manos de la Compañía Inglesa de las Indias Orientales (EIC por sus siglas en inglés). Los neerlandeses habían establecido previamente la isla, pero la abandonaron por su colonia en la actual Ciudad del Cabo. El Cabo resultó ser un fondeadero inferior, por lo que los neerlandeses aprovecharon la tercera guerra angloneerlandesa para apoderarse de Santa Elena, con poca resistencia de la guarnición de la EIC. El gobernador de la EIC, Anthony Beale, escapó a Brasil con varios soldados y esclavos. Envió la noticia de la pérdida de la isla en balandra, que se reunió con un escuadrón de la Marina Real comandado por Richard Munden. Munden decidió retomar la isla y en mayo desembarcó una fuerza al mando del teniente Richard Keigwin. Un bombardeo del escuadrón de Munden convenció a los neerlandeses de que se rindieran. Keigwin se quedó en la isla como gobernador con una guarnición aumentada. La invasión fue la última ocasión en que la isla fue tomada por una potencia extranjera. (es)
