Economic and Social Systems in the Early Modern Age Seaports: Malta, Messina, Barcelona and Ottoman Maritime Policy

Öz

The Mediterranean in the early modern period witnessed a great struggle between the Ottoman and Spanish empires. In this imperial rivalry for maritime domination, the Ottomans and the Spanish mobilized immense resources to build and arm galley fleets. While the Ottomans mostly made these naval efforts in the Tersâne-i Âmire in a centralized way, the Spanish distributed their naval construction to different shipyards: Barcelona in the Iberian Peninsula; Messina and Napoli in the central Mediterranean.
