Movements of the Egyptian navy in the Mediterranean according to the Nederlandsche Staatscourant dated 14 August 1837

According to tidings from Alexandria dated 6 July left the vice roi suddenly with 3 ships of the line and some frigates Alexandria destined towards the island Candia. More strange was that the complete Egyptian fleet was ordered to be ready for departure despite the fact everyone believed she wouldn’t go to sea anymore that year. Ibrahim left short after his father with 3 warships destined for Syria.
