The Ottoman Navy (Ottoman Turkish: دوننماى همايون‎, Donanma-yı Humâyûn; Turkish: Osmanlı Donanması) was the navy of the Ottoman Empire. It was established after the Ottomans captured Karamürsel in 1323 and created an outlet to the sea, allowing them to build a shipyard and construct their own fleet, which would come to dominate the eastern Mediterranean for several centuries.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

Early history[edit | edit source]

In 1485, after Manuel Palaiologos, the nephew of the last Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI, moved back to Constantinople, he sold the rights of his throne to Bayezid II and joined the Ottoman Navy, becoming a model citizen of the empire. However, this was just a ruse to conceal Manuel's true intentions to reclaim his throne.[2] In 1487, Piri Reis and his uncle Kemal also joined the navy, serving as privateers in the Mediterranean Sea a few years later.[3]

Ottoman-Venetian War[edit | edit source]

In 1499, the Republic of Venice under Agostino Barbarigo initiated a second war with the Ottomans. At the Battle of Zonchio, the Ottoman Navy destroyed the Venetian Navy, allowing the empire to seize the Venetian territories of Lepanto, Modone, and Corone in Greece.[4] The following year, at the Battle of Modon, the Ottoman Navy again defeated the Venetians.[5]

At some point during the war, the Italian Templars attempted to disrupt a temporary peace treaty between Venice and the Ottoman Empire by sending some of their agents to Constantinople. The Italian Assassins caught wind of the plot and sank the Templar ship as it departed Rome.[6] The Assassins subsequently steered the war towards a peaceful resolution.[7]

In 1503, as the war drew to a close, Piri Reis' taste for military adventures waned, and he decided to take a leave from the navy.[3] In 1511, Piri would meet the Florentine Ezio Auditore, a fellow Assassin, and they both briefly reminisced about their many friends lost during the war.[8]

Ottoman ships burned by Ezio

That same year, the Ottoman Navy set up a blockade in Constantinople's harbor to prevent anyone from leaving the city during an ongoing investigation into the murder of the Janissary captain Tarik Barleti. Ezio, needing to travel to Cappadocia to foil the Templars' plans, destroyed the Great Chain guarding the mouth of the Golden Horn, and burned a number of Ottoman ships using a mounted Greek fire cannon. With the blockade removed, Ezio subsequently boarded Piri Reis' ship, which took him to Cappadocia.[9]
