For my parents, Jane and Kermit Hanson
Aboukir Bay was the site of three battles during the Egyptian Campaign, the most decisive of which was Admiral Horatio Nelsons scuttling of the French fleet in early August 1799. One week earlier, however, a substantial Turkish force landed at Aboukir Bay, only to be routed by a smaller French contingent under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte. With this victory Napoleon secured French control of Egypt, but on 1 August Nelsons fleet, which had been searching for the French ships for some months, found them anchored inside the shoals of Aboukir Bay. The French expected that Nelson would launch his attack the following morning, but instead he attacked at dusk, and by midnight the entire French squadron had been destroyed. The French commander, Admiral Francis-Paul Brueys, went down with his flagship. Napoleons army was now effectively trapped in Egypt. Napoleon himself would make his way back to France toward the end of August, turning command of the army over to Jean-Baptiste Klber. The third engagement at Aboukir came on 22 March 1801, when a British expeditionary force of 18,000 men landed at the bay, once again at night, secured its position, and then began a march toward Alexandria. This established a British presence on Egyptian territory, which they would not relinquish until the departure of the entire French army in the fall of 1801.
