ADELAER, or ADELER (Norwegian for " eagle ")

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 188 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADELAER, or ADELER (Norwegian for " eagle ") , the surname of honour given on his ennoblement to Kurt Sivertsen (1622-1695), the famous
Norwegian
 -Danish naval
commander
 . He was born at Brevig in Norway, and at the age of fifteen became a
cadet
  in the Dutch
fleet
  under van
Tromp
 , after a few years entering the service of the Venetian Republic, which was engaged at the time in a war with Turkey. In 1645 he had risen to the rank of captain; and after sharing in various victories as
commander
  of a
squadron
 , he achieved his most brilliant success at the Dardanelles, on the 13th of May 1654, when, with his own vessel alone, he broke through the line of Turkish galleys, sank fifteen of them, and burned others, causing a loss to the enemy of 5000 men.. The following day he entered Tenedos, and compelled the complete surrender of the Turks. On returning to Venice he was crowned with honours, and became
admiral
 -
lieutenant
  in 166o. Numerous tempting offers were made to him by other naval powers, and in 1661 he left Venice to return to the
Netherlands
 . Next year he was induced, by the offer of a title and an enormous salary, to accept the command of the Danish
fleet
  from Frederick III. Under Christian V. he took the command of the combined Danish fleets against Sweden, but died suddenly on the 5th of November 1675 at
Copenhagen
 , before the expedition set out. When in the Venetian service, Adelaer was known by the name of Curzio Suffrido Adelborst (i.e. Dutch for " naval
cadet
  ").
