Battle of Sinop

The naval Battle of Sinope (or Sinop) took place on 30 November 1853 at Sinop, a sea port in northern Turkey, when Imperial Russian battleships struck and annihilated a patrol force of Ottoman frigates anchored in the harbor. It is often considered to be the last major skirmish of the age of sail, and the first battle of the Crimean War (1854–1856).
