List of sailing ships of the Ottoman Empire (original) (raw)

This is a list of known sailing warships of the Ottoman Empire and its various North African vassal states and dependencies, from the origin of the empire in the Late Middle Ages to 1859. During this period, the Ottomans used both oar-powered galleys and more conventional ships of the line, along with various hybrid designs. Many entries are based on Western sources, therefore the names may be misspelled or not reflect the original name of the vessel, but that given by foreign observers and captors.
