In a brief, she was born in prison because her family was imprisoned by the Ottomans. She was raised next to the sea and when her husband died she took over his business, and created her own fleet of ships. When she joined the Filiki Etaireia, an secret organization that was preparing Greece for revolution against Ottoman rule, she bought arms and ammunition at her own expense and brought them secretly in her ships to the island of Spetses, to fight for her nation Greece.
For herself, she built the largest ship that was called Agamemnon which played a major role for the victory in the independence war of Greece in 1821.
