The Crusaders then planned to use this city as a launching point for the southern portion of a pincer attack upon Jerusalem from Acre and Suez. Control over the area would also provide wealth to finance the continuation of the crusade, and reduce the threat from the Muslim fleet.Douglas Sterling, "Crusader Siege in the Nile Delta," ''Military History'' 22, no. 5 (August 2005). By 1221, Damietta was lost when Crusader forces surrendered the city and evacuated Egypt. Preparation In March 1218, the Crusader ships of the Fifth Crusade set sail to the port of Acre.
