After the defeat at the Battle of Chesme (Çeşme) in July 1770 by the Russian fleet it became necessary to modernize the Ottoman fleet. French specialists were the first who started to implement French technologies in shipbuilding.

#ReliefWednesday!
A Roman marble relief of a warship. Found in the necropolis of Praeneste (Latium), late 1st century BC.
The relief presumably belonged to the tomb of a Roman veteran who had served on Octavian’s side at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.
