Battle of Andros

Katsonis's fleet encountered an Ottoman-Algerian force near Cape Kafireas and Andros on 17 May 1790, leading to a two-day battle.

Adverse winds delayed Katsonis's progress, causing his nine-vessel fleet to encounter the Ottoman squadron in the straits between Cape Kafireas and Andros. Caught off guard by the arrival of North African fleets, Katsonis was trapped between Ottoman and Algerian forces, resulting in a two-day engagement.
