During the Crimean War, a British attack was repelled at Halkokari, the harbour-turned-beach that's about 2.5km north of Neristan. The captured gunboat at the English Park just north of Neristan is one of the few ever taken from the British Navy, and the only vessel to never have been returned (despite requests from British officials since 1914).
