Revival and Liberation

Fyodor Ushakov

1745–1817

Life

Ushakov was an eighteenth-century Russian naval commander. The battle at Kaliakra belongs to a Russo-Ottoman war, rather than Dobrotitsa’s period. Sources differ on ship numbers and assessments. The story does not repeat claims that the Ottoman fleet was destroyed when research does not support them. Led Russian ships against the Ottoman fleet. Directed ships between the shore and the opposing fleet. The battle was on 11 August in the Gregorian calendar. One headland preserves a medieval capital and a much later naval battle in its history.
