"Fiery Apparition In The Air, Seen In London, 1710
...plainly and visibly saw this strange Comet, it seem'd a very great Star, at the end of which was a long tail, or streak of Fire..After which follow'd the likeness of a Man in a Cloud..." Illustrated London News 17.5.1879. #FolkloreThursday #1710s

⚓ Algiers (Algeria), 1710s #Algeria #NavalHistory #1710s

"The ships of Algiers are oiled,
In the shipyard, oiled and moored.
Brave lads live on in Algiers,
Each time they say "Mother" my heart burns.

Its streets are paved with marble,
Its beauties have crescent brows,
Algiers." (Ottoman Folk Poem)
