Kemal Reis
Kemal Reis (c. 1451 – 1511) was an Ottoman privateer and admiral, as well as the the paternal uncle of the famous cartographer Piri Reis.
Biography
When Piri Reis was in his early teens, he accompannied Kemal on privateering expeditions in and around the Mediterranean.[1] On one of the expeditions to Rhodes, the pair would lure Hospitaliers from their palace posts and into a a path of caltrops only to see "them dancing in the street in a full suit of armor".[2]
By the time Piri Reis was in his twenties, both men had joined the Ottoman Navy.[1] During the Ottoman–Venetian War, Kemal was already a captain and favored the use of sticky resin bombs because they would stick to the hulls of large ships.[3]
In late 1511, Kemal suddenly died.[1]
