After the 17th century, instrument makers started to usemodern techniques and thus designed and produced instruments such as Gunter’sscale, trigonometrical ruler and sinical quadrant. Quartier de réductionwhich was widely used among French mariners, was one of these instruments. Itwas a simple but very accurate calculator that helped to determine thegeographical coordinates and direction of the ship’s course to be followed fromits point of departure to its destination.In the 18th century when Ottoman administratorsinitiated the modernisation of the military, European maritime books weretranslated to Ottoman Turkish. The quartier de reduction was thus introducedin Ottoman technical literature under the name serko harita and sârkokarta.This study will first introduce a few calculators usedby navigators before the seventeenth century. Then, examine the structure anduse of serko haritası and diacuss its use among ottoman seamen.
