Debarwa was formerly the capital of an Kingdom named Medri Bahri, which roughly translates as Land of the Sea. It was ruled by the Bahr Negus (King of the Sea). The Portuguese expedition under Cristóvão da Gama spent the rainy season of 1542 in Debarwa as the guests of the Bahr Negus. The Ottomans invaded part of Medri Bahri in 1557, and for several decades struggled for control over the local population and their Ethiopian neighbors. By the time everything settled, the Ottomans were confined to Suakin, Massawa, Hergigo and the immediate hinterlands, but at times their raids would reach into the Bogos, Hamasien and Habab districts of Eritrea.

In 1576 the Ethiopian Emperor Sarsa Dengel attacked Debarwa whereupon the Turkish garrison surrendered with all it's firearms. Sarsa Dengel then seized the vast riches stored by the Turks in Debarwa and ordered the destruction of the mosque and the fort that was erected during the Ottoman occupation. In 1587, the Turks left the port of Hirgigo and advanced inland to take Debarwa again but was again defeated by Sarsa Dengel who killed the Turkish commander Kadawred Pasha in battle.

Turkey to restore Sudanese Red Sea port and build naval dock

Sudan is trying to attract tourism to the Red Sea state, and a Turkish company is helping to restore old buildings in the port of Suakin.

:: Turkey will rebuild a ruined Ottoman port city on Sudan’s Red Sea coast and construct a naval dock to maintain civilian and military vessels, Sudan’s foreign minister said on Tuesday, as Ankara expands military and economic ties in Africa.

The restoration…

Neće ti se svidjeti što sam učinio. Sinoć smo uplovili u Suakin, u Sudanu. 3000 godina je Suakin bila bitna luka između Arabije i Afrike. Onda je netko riješio da razvije Port Sudan, a Suakin je postao samo usputna stanica goniča jahti i jedrilica na putu do Djiboutija. Sutra ću ti poslati nešto.

HMS Gannet (1878) – Chatham Historic Dockyard by Alan Wilson Via Flickr: British Victorian-era Doterel-class sloop-of-war HMS Gannet was built at the Sheerness Royal Dockyard and launched on 31st August 1878. The Doterel-class were of composite construction, with wooden hulls built over an iron frame. Nine were built between 1877 and 1880. A screw composite sloop powered by both sail and steam, she has an impressive barque rig sail plan, while down below were three boilers providing steam to a two-cylinder horizontal compound-expansion steam engine driving a single 13ft screw. She had a top speed of 11 ½ knots. Her main roles were the protection of trade and Empire, the suppression of slavery & piracy, and surveying / charting the seas. She had a crew of roughly 140 men and was armed with two 7-inch muzzle-loading rifled guns, four 64-pounder muzzle-loading rifled guns, four machine guns and one light gun. Her first Commission was in the Pacific from April 1879 to July 1883, while her second, third and forth commissions were all in the Mediterranean and were from September 1995 to November 1888, November 1988 to December 1891 and January 1892 to March 1895. During her second commission she saw action during the Battle of Suakin, part of the Mahdist War. Over 27 days from 11th September 1888, she fired over 200 shells and 1,200 machine gun rounds in defence of the Sudanese port of Suakin. She was relieved by HMS Starling on 15th October but without the support of HMS Gannet the port may well have fallen under rebel control. In March 1895 she was paid off for the last time and was stored at Chatham and Sheerness before being listed as non-effective in 1900. She was leased to the South Eastern & Chatham Railway Company from October 1900 to June 1902 and used as an accommodation hulk at Port Victoria on the Isle of Grain. She became HMS President in 1903 and was berthed in London’s West India Docks as a Royal Naval Reserve drill ship, for which she was heavily converted. She was renamed HMS President II in 1909 and was replaced in the drill ship role by HMS Buzzard in 1911. In 1913 she became an accommodation ship for Training School Mercury, on the river Hamble near Southampton. The school closed in 1968 and the ship was handed back to Royal Navy control, having been on loan to the school for nearly sixty years. She was transferred to the Maritime Trust in 1971 and a major restoration project began in 1987 to return her to her 1886 condition. The work was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Medway Council and European Regional Development Fund and she now appears as she did during the Battle of Suakin. In 1994 ownership passed to the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, were she is preserved in all her glory. Chatham Historic Dockyard Chatham, Kent, UK 27th July 2021
