Kadirga from 16th century
A.D. Ottoman Navy | Building
boats in Bodrum is as old as the town, going back some 2500
years. History records that Artemisia, the ruler of Caria,
commanded her own naval squadron in the battle of Salamis in
480 BC, lending credence to the belief that ships were built
in or near the city of Halicarnassus (ancient name of Bodrum).
The seafaring traditions of the Carians and Dorians, who lived
together in Halicarnassus and supplied ships to Egyptian
Pharaohs, add weight to the premise that shipbuilding here is
an ancient craft. Late records, from the days of the Ottoman
Empire, show that the galleons for the Ottoman navy are built
in Bodrum.
Barbaros Yachting is specialized in management of
constructing traditional wooden Turkish yachts. We act as the
