Siege of Lemnos (1770)

The siege of Lemnos in 1770 was part of the Aegean theatre of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). The Russian navy under the command of Count Alexei Grigoryevich Orlov, which besieged the castle of Myrina on Lemnos between August 4 and 22 October 1770, retreated to the island of Paros after the Russian siege forces were defeated by the Ottomans under the command of Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha, who landed on the island.
