‘To protect the coasts from pirate brigands’: Ottoman anti-piracy measures in the Eastern Mediterranean, 1718-70

 

This paper will examine the development of deterrent and protective naval patrols by the Ottoman navy in the Aegean and Levant seas against domestic pirates, Maltese corsairs, and European privateers. These were partly in response to demands for  protection from Ottoman provincial subjects and partly due to a developing sense of maritime territoriality.

One thought on “Greenwich Maritime Research Seminars”

  1. The topic is apt and will contribute to the current menace on piracy. Hope to learn from the past, measures that were used to combat pirates.
