Περίληψη:	Between shortly before midnight of the 24th and early morning of the 25th of September 1679, the life of French corsair Hugues Creveliers, leader of the most important corsair company active in the Aegean sea in the 1670s, came to an inglorious end off the coast of Astypalaia, due to the blowing up of his ship by a member of his crew. The present study takes a closer look at the details of the event and attempts to portray the role that Astypalaia played in the raids of Catholic privateers against the Ottomans during the seventeenth century; raids which had become a regular occurrence because they could find provisions there (such as bread, wine, etc.) and stock up with drinking water, but also because the island provided plenty of safe anchorages. The names of Astypalaia's havens in French and Italian portolan texts, along with other information of the time (testimonies about corsair contrac ts written on the island and marriages between privateers and local Greek women), attest not only the strong relationship that the corsairs built with Astypalaia, but also the degree of appropriation of the place by them. In the last part of this study we examine the role of the bay of Vathy in the corsair raids, since this is most likely where the explosion of Creveliers' ship took place. This particular bay has similar traits to other anchorages in the Cycladic islands where we know that corsairs repaired their ships, since they had built small forts of batteries at the narrow entrances to these lairs so that no enemy ship could approach. In-situ research conducted by the author on the south side of the narrow straits of Vathy bay led to the discovery of similar built structures which semm to be relevant to the frequent corsair presence there.
