EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the thrilling moment of the capture of the Algerian corsair xebec, L'Uccello, by the Genoese galleys Taggia and San Giorgio on August 11, 1788, near San Remo in the Mediterranean Sea. The image, filled with dynamic energy and intrigue, captures the intensity of the naval battle that unfolded between the Algerian Berbers and the Genoese squadron. The Algerian corsair xebec, L'Uccello, a sleek and agile boat, is shown in the foreground, with its crew members engaged in a desperate attempt to repel the Genoese attack. The Berber wrestlers, clad in turbans and loincloths, are seen wrestling with the Genoese sailors who have managed to board the xebec. The collision between the two boats is evident, with the Genoese galleys, Taggia and San Giorgio, looming in the background, their cannons at the ready. The scene is a testament to the fierce naval battles that took place in the Mediterranean during this period, as European powers vied for control of the sea routes and trade. The Genoese galleys, with their heavy armor and powerful cannons, were a formidable force against the lighter and more agile corsair crafts of the Berbers. This engraving, a stunning example of the art of the time, is now housed in the Navy Museum in Pegli, Genoa, Italy. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Mediterranean was a battleground for power and wealth.
