This battle took place on 16 May 1644 during the Danish-Swedish War near List Deep, between Sylt and Rømø in western Denmark. Nine Danish ships under King Christian IV forced a retreat back into List Deep of 26 smaller Dutch ships (13 under Thijsen and 13 under Gierdtson) which had come to assist Sweden against Denmark. 4 more Dutch ships from Marcus's squadron appeared during the battle but took no part.
