Notes on Ship


Dimensions (Keel)ref:1668

This galleon can also be worth 51.5 zira. I made my calculations according to a galleon of 51 zira.


Armamentsref:1668

1-) In 1145/1733, Küçük Gül Başlı and Zülfikar Kıçlı galleons were given to Cezayir-i Garb Quarry with 112 cannons. (BOA, MAD 10326, s. 129-130 (13 S. 1145/29 Ocak 1733); D. BSM 1713, s. 2). According to this historical record there should be a total of 56 guns per galleon. (56 + 56).

2-) In the archive records, 51 zira armament of galleons: (in 1708 = 26-7; 28-3 = 54). (in 1740 = 2-22 + 24-7; 34-3 = 60).
