Anatolia — Fruitless Sweep 1798

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A fleet in a shoal bay. Not an Anatolian survey and not a likeness.

Overview

The sweep is already on the Battle of the Nile 1798 — Overview. Nelson Horatio — Biography Overview missed the French at Toulon, Malta, and Alexandria, then returned from a fruitless sweep to Anatolia and found the fleet in Aboukir Bay — Egypt on 1 August 1798.¹

The Sweep

This note covers that Anatolia sweep only. A siege, a founding year, a garrison, and troop numbers stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

Malta — Missed 1798 already used the Malta miss-place and left Alexandria on those sentences. This page is the sweep, not that miss-phrase. Do not invent an Ottoman history or a landing from this page. Do not write Naples.²
