Further information concerning yachts chartering Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking on
the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a motor-sailing
ketch, or for a yacht chartering Turkey or Greece. How else would you find Estralano! By searching
for a yacht charting Turkey, you say? Like Francis Beaufort's Fredericksteen, you say?
The Fredericksteen was not a yacht! It was not a yacht in any sense of the word. The
Fredericksteen was a 32-gun frigate captured from the Danes in 1801 at the Battle of
Copenhagen. That was the engagement in which Horatio Nelson is said to have put his telescope to
his blind eye in order to ignore an order to withdraw. While Danes assert that it is not clear who
|
won this battle, Britain or Denmark (which then included Norway), it is clear that Nelson came
away with the Fredericksteen and that ten years later Beaufort took command for the purpose
of surveying the Turkish coast, (chart at left) or the coast of Karamania as it was then
known. And why did Beaufort need a 32-gun frigate to chart the Turkish coast? Because of those
rascally Karamanian Turks, that's why! The Karamans had ruled that part of Turkey running east
from Antalya since collapse of the Seljuk Empire, giving into the Ottomans briefly but not
permanently, and they were still there when Beaufort came along, as a musket ball in his groin
was to later prove. You were not searching for a yacht charting, you now say. You were dreaming
of a yacht chartering azure seas between Aegean islands of Greece, you say. You were dreaming
of the perfect octopus salad! And of fresh-caught red snapper. You were also considering the Turquoise
coast of Turkey around Bodrum, hopping from one secluded bay to the next secluded bay, traipsing
the crossroads of history. Aha! That's because you know Beaufort also charted the sea around
Bodrum, isn't it! No!!! You don't care about Beaufort!!! You are interested only in chartering
Greece and Turkey!!! Well, how about doing it aboard a crewed charter yacht with accommodations
for three couples. How about chartering a crewed sailing yacht to cruise Bodrum's ancient Caria. To
cruise Freya Starke's 1952 route along the Lycian Shore, a route which was mostly Aegean Greece and
Caria! To cruise Francis Beaufort's 1812 tracks among Greek Aegean islands and along the Carian
coast. How about chartering Greece or chartering Turkey aboard Estralano, not Fredericksteen.
