The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In February 1825, an Egyptian army under the command of Ibrahim Pasha had landed in the Morea, and inflicted a series of defeats on the Greeks.
- Kanaris decided if he could destroy the Egyptian fleet, he would cut off Ibrahim Pasha from being supplied from Egypt.
- On August 4, 1825, a Greek force consisting of two warships and three fire ships sailed from Hydra, under the overall command of Emmanouil Tombazis on the corvette Themistocles, the other ships being the brig of Kriezis, two Hydriot fireships and Kanaris' own Psarian fire ship.
