The last major engagement between wooden-hulled sailing ships was the Battle of Navarino between Britain and [[Turkey]] in 1827 during the Greek War of Independence. It is notable that the Turkish superiority in number of ships (almost 4 to 1) and guns (almost double) was negated by Britain’s 10 ships of the line to Turkey’s 3.
