			During [[Piri Reis]]' teenage years, he sailed with his uncle [[Kemal Reis\|Kemal]] as [[privateer]]s in the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. On one trip to [[Rhodes]], both men took much glee in luring many [[Knights Hospitalier]]s away from their posts into areas covered in caltrops, where the soldiers' rush to apprehend the two quickly turned to them hopping about in full [[armor]] trying not to impale their feet.
