Berend Jacobsen Karpfanger Berend Jacobsen Karpfanger ( 1623 - October 11 , 1683 ) was a German admiral of the Hamburg Admiralty known for fighting pirates . He was the captain of the convoy ships Leopold I and Wapen von Hamburg , which defended merchant ships from the pirates of the North African Barbary Coast . Career . Karpfanger was born in Hamburg in 1623 into a seafaring family with Dutch roots . He inherited a fleet of ships from his father , captaining these and scoring significant successes in fighting piracy . His fleet of ships expanded as he commandeered the ships he captured . In 1674 , he rose to the rank of admiral , becoming a Convoykapitän . This title was given to those captains of warship s who escorted merchant ships along the traderoutes of the Hanseatic League . Karpfanger first took command of the ship Leopoldus Primus , later to be called Leopold I , and later on the Wapen von Hamburg , which launched in 1669 . Commissioned in 1668 to protect the merchant ships from the Barbary corsairs , the Wapen was a long warship with a total of 54 cannon s , ranging from four to 18 pounds . Karpfanger took command of this ship in 1683 , when Leopold I was being repaired . Karfanger was with the ship on 10 October 1683 . On that day , while the ship was in the port of Cadiz , a fire started in the bow of the frigate that spread quickly throughout the rest of the ship . The crew tried desperately to fight the fire and when they could not contain it attempted to abandon ship on sloop s . Karpfanger himself refused to abandon the ship while efforts continued to save it and commanded the crew to return to further fight the fire . Around midnight , the fire reached the ship ' s gunpowder magazine , causing the ship to explode . Admiral Karfanger was among the dead , alongside 22 soldiers and 42 crewmen . His body was found floating on the mooring line of an English ship in the harbor the following morning . The cause of the fire was never discovered . Legacy . Karfanger was buried with honor at the cemetery in Cadiz , with a monument ordered at his tomb in his honor by Charles II of Spain . In 1808 , the cemetery was moved by the French to allow them to expand the fortress . In 1897 , Hamburg honored its famous son with a monument designed by R . Okelmann . In 1937 , the Hamburg America Line purchased the Finnish freighter L ' Avenir and rechristened it Admiral Karpfanger in his name .

National Organization of Crete The National Organization of Crete ( , abbreviated EOK ) was an organization established in Crete by British Intelligence during the Axis occupation of Greece in World War II . EOK , predominantly Venizelist in sympathy and with members ranging from centre - left to right - wing , was meant to act as a counterweight to the pro - communist EAM resistance organization . EOK evolved from the secret organization AEAK ( , " Supreme Committee of Cretan Struggle " ) , that was established in Chania on June 15 , 1941 . AEAK was founded a mere two weeks after the end of the Battle of Crete by patriots Andreas Papadakis , Ioannis Paizis , Andreas Polentas , Titos Georgiadis and Ioannis Ioannidis . It was the first armed resistance group in Greece , intending to organize an intelligence network and perform sabotage against German occupation forces . During the first months following its establishment , AEAK was based at Colonel Papadakis ' house in Vourvoures , near Kallikratis . However , a dispute between the Greeks and the British over its aims and leadership resulted in its disintegration and the formation of EOK . Despite their ideological differences , EAM and EOK agreed to sign non - aggression pact s during the meetings of Theriso and Tromarissa . These agreements were generally kept and allowed Crete to remain largely unaffected by the civil war between leftists and rightists that broke out in mainland Greece after the withdrawal of German occupation forces .
Trendle Ring Trendle Ring ( or " Trundle Ring " ) is a late prehistoric earthwork on the Quantock Hills near Bicknoller in Somerset , England . It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument ( Site no . 33201 ) . In 2013 it was added to the Heritage at Risk register due to vulnerability to plant growth . The word " trendle " means " circle " , so it is a tautological place name . The site , which covers , is surrounded by a single rampart with a ditch and has a simple opening on the East , uphill side . The hillside is steep and there are two areas which may have been more level platforms . It is situated on the slope of a hill which rises 130 m above the ring . Possible interpretations . Both the period of construction and the original purpose of the earthwork are uncertain . It has been described at different times by different authorities as a fort , a settlement , a livestock enclosure and a hill - slope enclosure . It may have served different purposes at different times . It has never been excavated and no found artifacts are associated with it . The size of the ' ramparts ' would argue for a defensive purpose , but the only entrance on the uphill side would not . The lack of any water supply would argue against any permanent human occupation and against its use as a livestock enclosure , although two more level areas inside the earthwork have been identified as possible building platforms . Hill - slope enclosures are found In South West England dating from the first and second millennium BC . When excavated , they have sometimes been found to have had settlements inside them , resembling defensible farmsteads , but the extreme steepness of this site and its location half way up the scarp of the Quantocks make it difficult to assign it a purely practical purpose .

Battle of Fort St . George The Battle of Fort St . George ( or Fort George ) was the culmination of a Continental Army raiding expedition led by Benjamin Tallmadge against a fortified Loyalist outpost and storage depot at the Manor St . George on the south coast of Long Island on November 23 , 1780 , during the American Revolutionary War . Tallmadge ' s raid was successful ; the garrison was surprised , and many provisions and prisoners were taken . Raid . Loyalist refugees from Rhode Island were resettled onto Long Island after the British withdrew their forces from Newport , Rhode Island in 1779 . Some of these were established at Manor St . George on the southwestern part of the island ( in present - day Mastic Beach , New York ) . They fortified the property , erecting a stockade high in a roughly triangular shape around the manor house . The stockade was lined with abatis ( tree branches with sharpened points facing out ) and a deep ditch . Major Benjamin Tallmadge led a force of about 80 men ( drawn from his 2nd Continental Light Dragoons ) that crossed Long Island Sound in whaleboats from Fairfield , Connecticut on November 21 , 1780 , landing at present - day Mt . Sinai . Leaving a guard of 20 men with the boats , the remaining men began to march across Long Island that evening , but bad weather forced them to return to the boats . After the weather improved , Tallmadge again set out on the evening of the 22nd , arriving near the property before dawn on the 23rd . Ordering his men to leave their musket s unloaded and with bayonet s fixed , Tallmadge divided his force into three , with each unit to attack one of the stockade ' s sides . Tallmadge ' s party was not spotted in the early dawn light until it was within of the stockade , and a sentry fired his weapon to raise the alarm . At this point Tallmadge ' s men rushed the stockade . Tallmadge ' s unit cut its way through the stockade while the other two units scaled the wall . According to Tallmadge ' s report the surprise was sufficient : the main house was surrounded and surrendered " in less than ten minutes " . However , some of the Loyalist garrison managed to reach a fortified house that formed part of the stockade . These men surrendered after a brief firefight . Aftermath . Tallmadge ' s force destroyed stores and took captive not just the armed defenders but a number of non - combatants as well . These were then marched across the island , and taken on Tallmadge ' s boats across to Fairfield . Tallmadge reported that only one of his men was wounded . Of the enemy he claimed that seven were killed and 54 wounded . Participating in the battle was Sgt . Elijah Churchill who would be awarded the first Badge of Military Merit , predecessor to the Purple Heart . The route Tallmadge used to cross the island is now known as the Tallmadge Trail . The Smith Estate and its grounds are now a museum and public park operated by the city of Brookhaven .
