Plan of the Battle of Navarino, 21 October 1827 Long Caption: The flourishing cartouche suggests that this was an officer's conversation piece. Ottoman forces brutally subdued the Greek revolution in the Peloponnese. An allied British, French and Russian fleet intervened but their show of force escalated into a major battle. North at 270 degrees, ungraduated, no soundings. Shows the positions of English, French, Russian and Turkish ships with a coloured key. A list of numbers of casualties and notes about Tunisian ships and a Russian frigate, appear to be additions in a different hand.
