Third - rate In the British Royal Navy , a third rate was a ship of the line which from the 1720s mounted between 64 and 80 guns , typically built with two gun deck s ( thus the related term two - decker ) . Years of experience proved that the third rate ships embodied the best compromise between sailing ability ( speed , handling ) , firepower , and cost . So , while first rate s and second rate s were both larger and more powerful , the third - rate ships were in a real sense the optimal configuration . Rating . When the rating system was first established in the 1620s , the third rate was defined as those ships having at least 200 but not more than 300 men ; previous to this , the type had been classified as " middling ships " . By the 1660s , the means of classification had shifted from the number of men to the number of carriage - mounted guns , and third rates at that time mounted between 48 and 60 guns . By the turn of the century , the criteria had grown and third rate carried more than 60 guns , with second rates having between 90 and 98 guns , while first rates had 100 guns or more , and fourth rate s between 48 and 60 guns . By the latter half of the 18th century , they carried between 500 and 720 men . This designation became especially common because it included the seventy - four gun ship , which eventually came to be the most popular size of large ship for navies of several different nations . It was an easier ship to handle than a first - or second - rate ship , but still possessed enough firepower to potentially destroy any single opponent other than a three - decker . It was also cheaper to operate . Although this rating system was only used by the Royal Navy , British authors might still use " third rate " to speak of a French 74 ( although the French Navy had its own system of five rates or " rangs " ) . By the end of the 18th century , ships of the line were usually characterized directly by their number of guns , the numbers even being used as the name of the type , as in " a squadron of three 74s " . However , the rating system , although modified in 1817 , continued until the end of the Age of Sail .

Milecastle 0 Milecastle 0 is a possible milecastle of the Roman Hadrian ' s Wall which may have preexisted the fort of Segedunum . Although its existence has been suggested by historian Peter Hill , no evidence of this milecastle has been found . It is not known whether the decision to establish forts on the line of the wall predated the decision to extend the wall to Wallsend , so it is possible that this milecastle was never built . Construction . Nothing is known of the construction of Milecastle 0 . Excavations and investigations . No excavations or investigations have taken place specifically for Milecastle 0 . No evidence has been found during excavation of Segedunum . Associated Turrets . Each milecastle on Hadrian ' s Wall had two associated turret structures . These turrets were positioned approximately one - third and two - thirds of a Roman mile to the west of the Milecastle , and would probably have been manned by part of the milecastle ' s garrison . The turrets associated with Milecastle 0 are known as Turret 0A and Turret 0B . Turret 0A . Nothing is known of this Turret . < br > Presumed site : Turret 0B . Turret 0B ( St Francis ) is located east of St Francis Community Centre . It was first noted by John Horsley in 1732 who mistook it for Milecastle 1 , and it is sometimes referred to as " Horseley ' s Milecastle 1 " . < br > Eric Birley ( still understanding it to be Milecastle 1 ) considered that it was rediscovered by Canon Fowler in 1877 , and the structure was also recorded ( and identified as a Turret ) by John Collingwood - Bruce and Robert Blair , when it was discovered during the digging for foundations of ' The Grange ' . The Turret was confirmed as such by Grace Simpson with reference to an article in The Evening Chronicle on 15 August 1936 , which described an extension of Stotts Road , Walker which cut through ' the Roman Wall and one of its turrets near the Grange ' . The turret ' s stones were later removed to Carville Chapel grounds to form rock gardens . A single course of this Turret was unearthed in 1978 . < br > Location :
Battle of the Delta The Battle of the Delta was a sea battle between Egypt and the Sea Peoples , circa 1175 BCE when the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses III repulsed a major sea invasion . The conflict occurred somewhere at the shores of the eastern Nile Delta and partly on the borders of the Egyptian Empire in Syria , although their precise location is unknown . This major conflict is recorded on the temple walls of the mortuary temple of pharaoh Ramesses III at Medinet Habu . Historical background . In the 12th century BCE , the Sea Peoples ( also known under several other names , such as Tjekker , Peleset , and Sherden ) invaded the Middle East from the eastern Mediterranean . They destroyed and plundered Hattusha , capital of the Hittite Empire , and also attacked Syria and Palestine where many cities were burned and ruined . ( Carchemish was one of the cities which survived the Sea People ' s attacks . ) Cyprus had also been overwhelmed and its capital ransacked . Since the Medinet Habu inscriptions depict women and children loaded in ox - carts , the attackers are believed to be migrants looking for a place to settle . Their attacks are reported , for instance , in letters by Ammurapi , the last king of Ugarit , pleading for assistance from Eshuwara , the king of Alasiya : The Sea People invasions are often listed among the causes or symptoms of the Bronze Age collapse . Ramesses had previously fought the Sea Peoples in southern Lebanon , at the Battle of Djahy . Ramesses III describes a great movement of peoples in the East from the Mediterranean which , caused a massive destruction of the former great powers of the Levant , Cyprus and Anatolia : The battle . After defeating the Sea Peoples on land in Syria , Ramesses rushed back to Egypt where preparations for the invaders assault had already been completed . According to the Medinet Habu inscriprions , Ramesses looked at the sea , he stared at a force of thousands of enemies , and possibly the end of the Egyptian empire . Ramesses lined the shores of the Nile Delta with ranks of archers who were ready to release volleys of arrows into the enemy ships if they attempted to land . Knowing that he would be defeated in the battle at sea , Ramesses enticed the Sea Peoples and their ships into the mouth of the Nile , where he had assembled a fleet in ambush . This Egyptian fleet worked the Sea Peoples ' boats towards shore . Then archers both on land and on the ships devastated the enemy . The Sea People ' s ships were overturned , many were killed and captured and some even dragged to the shore where they were killed . In the inscriptions , Ramesses proclaims : Aftermath . The Battle of the Delta saved Egypt from the destruction that befell Hatti , Alasiya , and other great Near Eastern powers . There is no documentation for any pursuit of the defeated Sea Peoples , Although defeated in the Delta , some of the Sea Peoples ( specifically the Peleset ) are believed to have settled in Palestine some time after Ramesses death .

Redoubt Duijnhoop The Redoubt Duijnhoop was a square demi - bastioned clay and timber Redoubt built fort constructed at the mouth of the Salt River , leading into Table Bay , South Africa in January – February 1654 . It formed part of the defences of the Vereenigde Oost - Indische Compagnie ' VOC ' replenishment station , which had been established under Jan van Riebeeck in 1652 . The purpose of the station was to supply ships travelling between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies . The redoubt was armed with two 12 - pounder guns , and on 22 April 1654 , Van Riebeeck informed the VOC ' s directors that " in addition to the Fort de Goede Hoop , a redoubt named Duijnhoop standing at the Salt River for the protection and reinforcement of this Table Bay , has been fully placed in a position of defence . " In addition to covering the approach to the Salt River mouth , Duijnhoop served as a signalling station to warn the Fort of approaching ships . By 1661 , Duijnhoop had been abandoned , and fallen into disrepair . It was repaired after a warning that a French fleet might pass the Cape , and a second redoubt , named Santhoop , was built nearby . By 1666 , however , both had been allowed to fall into disrepair again . Duijnhoop was demolished in 1672 . Nowadays , for some reason , Duijnhoop is sometimes confused with the Fort de Goede Hoop .
