The naval Battle of Zonchio took place off of Cape Zonchio
[from August 12th to the 25th, 1499
just north of the island of Sphacteria
[and northwest of the Pylos coastline.
It was a part of the Ottoman–Venetian War
(1499-1503) and the first naval battle in history,

Kemal Reis took over the command of the Ottoman fleet
[consisted of 67 galleys, 20 galliots and about 200 smaller ships
and in Cape Zonchio defeated the Venetian fleet,
[a defeat which was characterized as partial Venetian eclipse,
as the total eclipse of the republic of San Marco
[will take place three centuries later,
