Local Shipyards in the Ottoman Empire: Lemnos Island (1780–1862)

Abstract

The lifeblood of Lemnos Island is the small shipyard located just at the entrance of the port. In this shipyard, Istanbul's frigate and galleon needs were met. Permanent workers were provided to be employed in shipbuilding on the island. Together with these workers, the timber necessary for shipbuilding material was provided from the forests in the Rumelia Sanjak; iron and nails were provided from Istanbul. Together with this shipyard, the region revived economically. The most common types of ships constructed on the island of Lemnos were the galleon and the frigate, which was a medium-sized warship. The two most important elements for shipbuilding were the personnel to be employed and the materials to be used in the construction of the ship. These two important issues were intertwined with each other. The captain of the ship was held responsible for carrying out these two works. If the ships that were constructed were not finished and sent in a certain time, there was a situation that the ship's material would perish. If the ship could not be finished within the specified time, the material could not. It was constantly mentioned in the documents to bring the materials as soon as possible and to provide the workers. While some of the ships belonging to the navy in Istanbul were constructed as shares, we see that most of them were constructed by the tax collector and voivode, who were in charge of the island administration. The influential factor in the region, who was personally responsible for shipbuilding on the island, was the Voivode Abdulkerim Ağa. Ağa, who was personally responsible for the construction of seven ships in different periods, successfully completed his duties. In our article, the relationship of dependency on Istanbul, which started to change especially in the provincial shipbuilding dockyards during the 18th century, was examined. To the extent possible with archival documents, due to the proximity of Lemnos Island to Istanbul, with the support of the aid received from the capital, the construction of medium-sized ship that the navy needs and the maximum capacity that could be done tried to be explained.
