Ottoman ship-of-the-line which name is Peleng-i Bahri 1777s (Tiger-sea) with 58 guns
The first time cannons were used on Ottoman ships was during
the siege of Constantinople to hit the city walls from the sea. Guilmartin,
however, tells about a contemporary Turkish sketch preserved in Topkapi Palace
showing two Ottoman siege bombards in action and he suggests that this may
represent the earliest type of gun mount regularly used aboard galleys,
considering the similarity to a German woodcut depicting the port of Venice and
illustrating a book published in 1486. This woodcut shows a bombard, made of
wrought iron or bronze cast in ‘hooped’ form, mounted on the bow of a galley
tightly pinioned between heavy horizontal timbers lying alongside the barrel
and supported by a much heavier vertical post to absorb the recoil.
If we take a look at Ottoman ships carrying cannons,
irrespective of the century in which they were used, we see that among the ones
powered with oars were galliot (kalite), brigantine (perkende), saika (şayka)
with three guns, mahone (mavna) with 24 guns, galley (kadirga) with 13 guns and
bafltarda with three heavy guns and several light guns. Among sailing ships
carrying guns were sloops (şalope) of 12 guns, brigs (brik), ağribar
with over 30 guns, corvettes (korvet) with 20–30 guns, barça with over 80 guns,
galleons (kalyon) with 60–80 guns, three-decked galleons (üç ambarh kalyon)
with 80–120 guns, frigates (firkateyn) with 30–70 guns, kaypak/kapak with
80–100 guns and uskuna with 16 guns.
In the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, beside
warships, merchant ships were observed to have guns as well. Guns required for
the merchant ships owned by the state were generally provided from the
Tophâne-i Âmire, while the ones for the private non-military ships were
purchased or hired in return for a certain amount of money.
Considering the galleons constructed following the
systematic adoption of sailing ships in 1682, we see that four out of ten
galleons were 50 zira and had 80 bronze guns while the remaining six were 45
zira and had 60 guns. These sizes seem to be comparable to the ones of European
ships.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century, 112 guns were
required for a three-decker built in 1700, and 130 guns for a big galleon kebîr
kalyon constructed in 1701. The sizes of these guns were between three and 16 kiyyes.
Broken guns or the ones needed to change were transferred to the Tophâne-i
Âmire in order to be replaced with new ones. Broken ones were melted down to be
cast into new guns.
Looking at the first-, third-, fourth- and fifth-rate
Ottoman ships between 1736 and 1739, it is seen that the Çift Aslan, a
first-rate ship, could carry 108 guns of 8-112, 22-48, 2-24, 30-18, 28-12, 18-8
pounders. The İki Bağçeli and the Büyük Gül Başh, two third-rate Ottoman ships,
had 66 guns on board each. Sixty-six guns of the İki Bağçeli consisted of 4-112,
24-48, 2-18, 28-12, 8-8 pounders, while there were 28-24, 2-18, 28-12, 8-8
pounders on the Büyük Gül Başh. A fourth-rate ship, the Yaldizh Şiahin,
carried 62 guns of 26-18, 28-12, 8-8 pounders; another fourth-rate ship, the
Mavi Aslan, had 50 guns of 22-12 and 28-8 pounders. The Mavi Firkata, another
fifth-rate ship, could carry 36 guns of 8 and 4 pounders.
Of course, these were not the only ships of the period in
question. Panzac, in addition to mentioning the gun capacities of the ships
between 1736 and 1739 as mentioned above, focuses on the ones operating in a
more limited time period. To give the gun capacity of some other ships between
1737 and 1738, the following names can be mentioned: the Çift Kaplan with 102
guns, the Sipah-i Bahr with 98 guns, the Malika-i Bahr with 98 guns, the Yaldizh
Hurma with 72 guns, the Deve Kuşu with 68 guns, the Şiadirvan
Kiçh with 68 guns, the İspinoz with 68 guns, the Küçük Gül Başh with 66 guns, the
Akrep Başh
with 66 guns, the Beyaz At with 66 guns, the Al-qasr with 62 guns, the Zülfikar
with 62 guns, the Selvi Bağçeli with 62 guns, the Yaldiz Bağçeli with 58 guns, the Ejder
Başh
with 56 guns, the Yildiz Kiçh with 54 guns, the Ay Bağçeli with 54 guns, the Sari Kuşlakh
with 54 guns, the Kirmizi Kuşlakh with 52 guns, the Yaldizh Nar
with 52 guns, the Baba Ibrahim with 52 guns, the La PremièËre with 46 guns, the
La Seconde with 46 guns, the Küçük Şiahin with 46 guns, the Serçe Kuflu
with 44 guns, the Beyaz Şiahin with 38 guns, the La Bleue with an unknown number of
guns. The following table, drawn by Panzac, gives a general idea of the rates
of the ships and the number of guns present on them for five different leading
powers of the world between 1735 and 1740.
The Ottoman navy consisted of 33 ships: 27 ships of the line
(of which four were three-deckers with 98–108 guns and 23 were two-deckers) and
six ships of the fifth rank. In the second half of the eighteenth century, as
the oared ship became obsolete, giving way to sailing ships such as the
galleon, the three-decker, the frigate and the corvette, the number of cannons
on the ships began to increase. Therefore, parallel to the growing need for
ships, the manufacture and order of new cannons and ammunition increased.
Ottoman documents often mention correspondence between authorities about the
urgent need for the manufacture of cannons to be used on galleons and other
types of ships in 1793–94. It became routine for new ships to be equipped with
cannons and shells cast, manufactured and processed in the shell works and the
Humbarahâne within the Tersâne-i Âmire.
The Ottoman authorities, including Sultan Selim III, were aware of the deficiencies of the naval ships in terms of gunnery. Selim III was so interested in contemporary war techniques and weapons that he wrote a treatise (risâle) on the subject. The second part of the treatise was on flares (fişlekler) and the third part on cannons (toplar). It seems that the Kaptan Pasha checked the treatise and stated that Ottoman naval ships were deprived of these flares and cannons, and ordered the procurement of these weapons.
