Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of a Residence in the Danubian Principalities: In the Autumn and Winter of 1853 From where we then were we could see the Egyptian squadron anchored before the Sultan´s Valley, and on the heights above it the green tents of Abbas Pasha´s soldiers. From the centre of the Bay of Buyukdéré, stretching away in an oblique line as far as the entrance of the Black Sea, was the Turkish fleet. The trim frigate close beside us, and the first in the line, was that commanded by Captain Slade, of the British navy, and at present a Pasha in the Turkish service. It was the first day of the Courban Bairam, and the Turkish and Egyptian ships were gaily dressed out with flags. We passed close to the ´Mahmoudia,´ one of the largest ships in the world, carrying 120 guns, and bearing the flag of the Capaudan Pasha, or Turkish Lord High Admiral. Nothing could look more warlike or statelier than the Sultan´s fleet; and it is to be presumed that in action the ships would be well handled and gallantly fought by officers and men.
