Warfare on the Mediterranean in the Age of Sail: A History, 1571–1866

By contrast the Ottomans had approximately ships, and between 3,—20, men 3, of whom were janissaries, heavily armed with arquebuses. The Turkish Muslim fleet was lead by the Khayreddin known as Barbarossa in the West and his crew of pirates, along with the Ottoman state navy.
At the time of Suleiman's ascension to power, the Muslim world was finding it's population well on the decline, and losing important markets to the Europeans, and feeling an economic squeeze. In order to correct this imbalance of power and in order to survive, the sultan chose war and expansion to safeguard and secure their interests.
Therefore the battle of Preveza represented an opportunity to hold the Mediterranean, which had already been won by the Muslim empire in , at the battle of Zonchio. By the wars end, the Europeans had lost a grand total of one third of their fleet before they surrendered and turned back home. Casualties amongst the Ottomans hardly hit the 1,s, whilst for the Europeans, amounted to over 3, dead.
The victory enabled Barbarossa to once again prove his worth to the sultan. For Venice, the victory was a disaster.

They felt as if the Europeans had betrayed them, already exacerbated by a deep mistrust of the Holy Roman Empire. As a result of the prowess of the Ottoman military, the battle ensured the Muslims would control the sea for at least another two decades until , when the battle of Djerba would erupt.
This time again, the Ottomans would defeat their enemies, crushing them until , where finally, after over 70 years, control of the sea would be lost to the Europeans. Whilst not a huge blow, the symbolism of the latter battle would go down in European history as one of their best. Traditional industries such as paper-making, sugar production and clothing saw ever decreasing market shares. The battle in however, became one of three defining naval wars of the 16th century, the others being Djerba and Lepanto —with the Turks winning the first two, precisely because they could stand up to the Europe threat.

The Venetians had previously warred with the Ottomans on three previous occasions. He had a small, but powerful, fleet; and as it later transpired, very capable and daring soldiers. With the enemy's barques disabled, and unable to move and the wind suddenly declining , Doria ran.
The Turks suffered no losses despite being outnumbered. On the Venetian side, their ships both functioned as merchant ships and fighting boats. This was presumably because of the Barbary pirates who were known to conduct piracy throughout the Mediterranean well into the industrial age even raiding Iceland in and Ireland in and along with help from the Turks managed to wrestle Algiers, Bugia, and La-Gollette Tunis from the powerful Spaniards by Turkish fixed cannon rowboat artist impression that pulverised the five-nation Christian fleet.

I have since found a short story written by Hans Christina Andersen 'The fir tree' which tells the life story of a fir tree from forest to living room to street.

These digital forms have almost completely replaced analogue technology in industry and are fast replacing analogue forms in photographic art.
Blackmore, David
Produced using solely traditional photographic equipment, Blackmore's work catalogues and questions the place of obsolete technology in art and contemporary life. Technical notes David dismantles and removes the screens from collected devices. He then solders copper wires on to the connection points, in order to illuminate the screens. To date David has been experimenting with analogue production techniques, screens are photographed using a large format camera.
These images will be exhibited as large-scale prints in order to confront the viewer with images that do not appear to be photographic but seem to be digital constructed images. The body of work has also been explored as a light installation as part of Pixxelpoint, Mestna galerija Nova Gorica, Slovenia. Text by Allan Forrester Parker. Keeping smaller pets by David S.
