First Venetian-Genoese War. The Genoese fleet also arrived at Acre, but Tiepolo had fortified himself and received reinforcements from Venice and Crete. When the Genoese arrived, he set sail to battle with 39 galleys, 4 large round ships, and 10 tarettes. He faced 50 galleys and 4 large round ships. The Venetian victory was overwhelming: the Genoese lost 1,700 men, killed or taken prisoner, and half their ships. The prisoners were taken prisoner and a ransom was demanded and obtained, as was the practice among Italian cities. Foreigners, such as the Ottomans, were routinely enslaved.
