In 1816 a British naval squadron was sent to Algiers, arriving on 27 August 1816, accompanied by a small Dutch squadron, which had requested to join them at Gibraltar. They sought the release of the detained British Consul, and over 1000 Christian slaves, many being seamen taken by the Algerines. The fleet bombarded Algiers in the most spectacular of actions, finally breaking the power of the "Barbary pirates," who plagued European commerce in the Mediterranean for centuries. The British and Dutch naval bombardment of Algiers destroyed 33 ships in the harbour.
