Swedish frigate Venus (1783) The capture and following process On 1 June 1789, "Venus" was patrolling the waters outside the Norwegian coast, Norway at this time was ruled by Denmark and considered neutral. 31 May the lookouts reported a Russian squadron of four frigates and a cutter, the report was soon corrected to two ships of the line, two frigates and a cutter. Relying on his ships excellent sailing abilities Commander Hansson expected to be able to stay ahead of the Russian ships until a change in the wind suddenly bereaved him of the possibility to reach open sea. Cornered in by the Russians he escaped into the entrance of the fjord of Christiania (presently Oslo), expecting the protection of a neutral nation. However the Russian ships followed and went into action, the cutter Merkuriy was the first to reach Venus and both ships opened fire, the larger ships then followed positioning them to be able to fire along the lengths of the Venus. Hansson had prepared his ship with spring on the anchor cables to enable to train his ship's guns sideways and initially he managed to damage first arriving Russian ships. However when the capital ships was in place and also opened fire Commander Hansson, after consultation with his senior officers concluded that nothing more could be achieved by further bloodshed and hauled down his colours. According to a testimony from the Danish/Norwegian pilot, Commander Hansson right after hauling down his flag boarded the Russian flagship claiming the attack as a crime of war. The hard feelings among Swedish officers was also obvious in other official reports. The squadron commander A.F. Rosensvärd mentioned in his official report about the loss of Venus that his ships had respected the neutrality versus Russian ships in Danish harbours, "...ships that I with my superiour force easily could have captured if it had been within legal practice...". Probably Denmark at this time neutral but with troubled relations to Sweden had a double interest not to support the Swedish diplomatic case, first not to be seen taking part against Russia, secondly any loss of resources for the Swedish navy was one less ship to worry about in a possible coming conflict with Sweden. The Russian newspapers and authorities made the outmost of the capture spreading the news that the "Venus" had hauled down her colours to the 22-gun cutter Merkuriy. The imprisoned Commander Hansson reacted furiously claiming his honour as officer had been questioned and wrote a letter to the commander of the Russian squadron asking him as a gentleman to testify about the events. The "Commander Jenkins" of the Cutter Merkuriy who should have all to win of the heroic role his ship was given in the propaganda answered the call from his enemy colleague. In a letter that can still be found of the Swedish court protocols he not only confirms that Commander Hansson did actually haul down his flag to the squadron, but also claims his ship suffered severe damages and would have been sunk if the bigger ships has not come to his assistance. (It is to be said that many officers in the Baltic navies at this time was unemployed European officers with limited interest in the politics of the Baltic war. Possible the letter to the benefit of Commander Hansson could be seen as a sign of the importance being seen as a gentleman by officers who another day could be possible colleagues). Upon returning after captivity Commander Major Hansson was under trial at the royal court in Stockholm in July 1791 for the loss of his ship. The relatively mild sentence of loss of a half year salary for positioning his majesty’s frigate Venus into a position where he could not escape to the open sea indicated that the court not considered the loss itself as a crime and accepted the fact that Major Hansson should have been able to expect a safe heaven on neutral waters, and that his defence of the ship had been sufficient until the point of the arrival of the full Russian squadron. Remaining career[edit] The ship was taken over by the Russian Navy and participated in the battle of Reval and in the battle of Vyborg Bay in 1790 under command of the British Admiral Roman Crown. Venus visited Holland in 1795 and Great Britain in 1795–1797 and 1799–1800. She served in the Adriatic Sea between 1805 and 1807 and in the Aegean Sea in 1807. She was sold to the Kingdom of Naples in Palermo to avoid capture by the British.
