In 1855 the Royal Navy launched a series of operations into the Gulf of Leotung and surrounding area to suppress piracy, several battles were fought and hundreds of pirates were killed.〔Wombwell, pg. 114-155〕 ==Background== In the 1850s the southern China coast was base for many different pirate groups, Eli Boggs' being the most famous. Vessels used by the Chinese pirates were armed with guns ranging from thirty-two pounders and down and had complements on average of fifty or more. European and American sailors often were among the pirate crews. The war-junks engaged in the Leotung battle carried six to over eighteen guns each and all displaced ninety to 200 tons, with the exception of the lorchas which were larger and better armed. Several pirate fleets operated in the Pearl River Delta and it became the target of a British counter-piracy operation in mid to late 1855. One expedition of one brig and two chartered steamers was under the command of Captain Charles Turner. The brig was HMS ''Bittern'' carrying twelve guns and 125 officers, crew and marines, she was under Commander Edward W. Vansittart. The steamer ''Confucius'' was crewed by Chinese sailors and armed by guns from the frigate USS ''Macedonian'' but she did not engage in battle as she ran low on coal and was forced to leave the expedition not long after it began. The other steamer ''Pavushan'' or ''Paoushan'' was not armed but was commanded by Captain Turner and used to tow the ''Bittern'' through shallow water.〔Wombwell, pg. 114-155〕〔Cohen〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of the Leotung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
