Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha or Hasan Pasha of Algiers ( 1713 – 1790 ) was an Ottoman captain , Grand Admiral ( 1770 - 1790 ) , Grand Vizier ( 1790 ) , and general of the late 18th century . He is known to have been bought as a Georgian slave in eastern Turkey by a Turkish merchant of Tekirdağ , who raised him in that city considering him on a par with his own sons . He rose through the ranks of the Ottoman military hierarchy and was for a time with the Barbary Coast pirates based in Algiers ( whence his name " Cezayirli " , meaning " from Algiers " in Turkish ) . He was a fleet commander during the Battle of Chesma aboard the " Real Mustafa " and was able to extract the forces under his command from the general disaster for the Turkish navy that occurred there . He arrived at the Ottoman capital with the bad news , but was highly praised for his own accomplishment and promoted , first to chief of staff and later to grand vizier . He dislodged the Russian fleet which had established a base on the Aegean island of Limni . Anecdotal evidence indicates that , immediately after the defeat at Chesma , he and his men were lodged by a local priest in Ayvalık who did not know who they were . Hasan Pasha did not forget the kindness shown at that hour of crisis and later accorded virtual autonomy to the Greek - dominated town of Ayvalık , paving the way for its becoming an important cultural center for that community in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century . The defeat also prompted Hasan Pasha to establish the Naval Engineering Golden Horn Shipyard ( later Turkish Naval Academy ) in 1773 . In 1786 , Hasan Pasha was ordered by the sultan Abdülhamid I to take troops to Egypt and drive out the Mamluk emirs led by Ibrahim Bey ( Mamluk ) and Murad Bey , who had become " de facto " rulers of the province . < ref name = " JabartiPhilipp1994 - 2 / 181 " > < / ref > He arrived in Egypt in early August 1786 and was successful in this campaign ( although the Mamluk emirs would regain power after his death ) and remained the " de facto " Ottoman governor of Egypt for around a year . His long - time " kethüda " ( assistant / deputy ) Ismail Pasha the Tripolitanian remained in Egypt and was soon appointed the Ottoman governor of Egypt himself ( 1788 – 89 , 1789 – 91 ) . < ref name = " JabartiPhilipp1994 - 2 / 286 – 289 " > < / ref > In the Russo - Turkish War of 1787 - 1792 , Hasan Pasha ( then 85 ) commanded the Turkish troops in the beginning campaigns , taking part in the Action of 17 June 1788 , the Battle of Fidonisi , and the Siege of Ochakov . He died in March , 1790 , from illness or perhaps poisoned . His statue today graces the resort town of Çeşme , along with the lion that domesticated while in Africa and took along with him everywhere .
