Strait of the Dardanelles, in ancient times nown as the Hellespont, dividing Europe from Asta and connecting the Sea of Marmora with the Aegean, is the most famous strait in history. ‘The actual strait is forty miles long and from one to four miles wide It has always been heavily fortified, guarding, as It does, the gateway to Constantinople. However, in 1807 Admiral Sir J. T. Duck- worth of the British navy, after the battle of Navarino, succeeded in forcing a passage by the forts and taking his entire fleet into the Sea of Marmora.
