Battle of Chania (1646)

The Battle of Chania took place on 14 August 1646, when the fleet of the Republic of Venice and her allies, under Giovanni Cappello, tried to destroy the Ottoman ships at anchor in the port of Chania, on Crete. The attack was a failure, as the Venetians could not penetrate the harbour defences.
