The Naval Battle of Navarino on October 20, 1827, was a pivotal moment in naval history. Depicted in various artworks of the time, this battle marked the end of the Ottoman Navy's dominance in the Mediterranean. French Admiral Henri Comte de Rigny led a combined fleet of British, French, and Russian forces against the Ottoman navy in Navarino Bay. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the allied forces, with the destruction of the Ottoman fleet. This victory played a significant role in the eventual outcome of the Greek War of Independence. This 19th-century map of Navarino Bay provides a glimpse into the strategic location of the battle, while Reinagle's paintings and Eckersberg's depiction of a Russian ship of the line and frigate offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the naval forces involved. The Naval Battle of Navarino remains an important chapter in the annals of naval warfare and international relations.
