Halic Shipyard
Standing once where the Byzantium shipyard used stand, Halic Shipyard was built after Sultan Mehmet’s conquest of Istanbul. The shipyard
that was formerly known as Tersane-i Amire, was built in 1455.
As once it was considered to be a maritime center of the world,
today Halic Shipyard holds the record for being the oldest functioning shipyard
with its three dry docks and maintenance facilities. Unfortunately the Shipyard
is closed to the public. You can find more information on the Shipyard from
City Ferry’s brochure here (only in Turkish), or from here.
While there are many rumored projects that aim to transform Halic Shipyard in the future, for us the best project would involve preserving the
Shipyard and building a museum on its grounds that would deliver its history to
future generations.
Take care of yourselves,
Tracer of Istanbul
