This Battle of Møn, also known as the Battle of Lolland, took place on May 31, 1677, as part of the Scanian War. The Danes had been blockading a Swedish squadron in Gothenburg, and each side had been sending fleets out regularly in the hope of a decisive victory at sea. The Swedish ships, under Erik Carlsson Sjöblad, left to return to the Baltic and met a larger Danish squadron under Niels Juel. The action started in the evening of the 31st and continued until the next morning. It was an almost complete Danish victory. Several Swedish ships were captured, most as they tried to flee, and one was run aground and burned.
