Bosphorus. Third Venetian-Genoese War. The Venetian fleet under the command of Niccolo’ Pisani, with 20 galleys, after withdrawing its scuttled ships at Negroponte, reaches the fleet of the Genoese Paganino Doria in the Bosphorus. Here the Catalans, Venetian allies, also join them. The Genoese are the first to attack. The furious battle shocks contemporaries because, unusually for the time, it rages during a storm in the dead of winter and continues into the night. The Catalan admiral and many other officers are killed. Losses are heavy on both sides. Both sides claim victory, but in reality it is the Venetians and Catalans who retreat. The latter fear the Ottoman reinforcements that will soon arrive to support the Genoese.
