Inferno at Sea Turkish fleet set ablaze by night accident
The Turkish war fleet of 64 ships anchored near Topana was set on fire by embers placed in a ram by sleepers. Multiple vessels burned, two large fires raged on the water, and the Grand Signior ordered aid for victims. Survivors and authorities, including the Seraglio, reported the dramatic blaze and ensuing chaos amid strong winds.
