Notes: |
He is Grandfather Gregory's grandfather. His father was a fisherman with his own kaiki. Nicholas (and Dimitrios, his elder brother) worked with him and later became a sea-pilot, navigating ships through the shoals in the bay of Kidonies (in front of present-day Ayvalik). The good money he earned from pilotage enabled him to marry Rigena and launch his first kaiki. He carried all sorts of cargoes including contraband tobacco which he picked at prearranged deserted beaches in the vicinity of Kavala and Porto Lagos, later offloading it at equally deserted beaches in Asia Minor thus evading the customs duties which the bankrupt Ottoman state was forced to cede to their European creditors. To read about the derivation of his surname see the story.
