A troubled period has begun with the Chesma and Navarino battles and the

war that took place in history as the Crimean War (1853-1856) to destroy Russia’s

Navy in Sevastopol. The Russian Marines, which started just before the Crimean

War and continued after the Crimean War, had joint activities with Ottoman sailors

to map the Black Sea and the Marmara. Joint mapping with the Russians on the

Ottoman coast was realized by a Russian naval officer, Ygor Manganari, on the

board of the vessel called “Galupka” on the Black Sea between 1829 and 1837.

Between 1845 and 1847, the captain Manganari’s naval officers prepared a map

of the Marmara Sea coast and ports. As a result of the modernization efforts in the

19th century, the contemporary cartographic activities started in the Ottoman State.

Thus, the Ottoman Engineer School commenced cartography training, and foreign

mapping specialists were also employed at the School. Examples of these studies

will be tried to be followed and presented in this research through documents and

maps in the Ottoman Archives. Consequently, in this study, related to these activities

the documents in the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive reviewed from the

perspective of the history of art.
