Greetings all,
 
On this day, we commemorate the Crusader and Venetian attack on fortifications at the Golden Horn during the Latin siege of Constantinople on April 9th in 1204 AD:
 
 
In heavy fighting the Crusader assault forces were driven back and troops that landed came under heavy archery fire between the shore and the city walls.
