Turkish Built Ships

Turkish Built Ships

A unique maritime heritage masterpiece by naval painter Hüseyin Hüsnü Tengüz.

This rare work documents both pre-Republic and post-Republic Turkish naval history, enriched with handwritten notes and original drawings: Turkish-Built Ships.

Created by naval officer and painter Hüseyin Hüsnü Tengüz, this work is not merely a notebook but a visual archive of an era. Its pages contain detailed technical drawings of domestically built warships and naval structures spanning from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic. Some pages feature colorful illustrations and notes on the naval terminology of the period.

The artist—who also designed the Presidential Seal of Turkey and left a mark on the history of Turkish military uniforms—produced this work, which was rediscovered in 2017 at Denizler Kitabevi, marking a milestone in the history of collecting.

Turkish-Built Ships is not only for maritime enthusiasts but also appeals to those interested in art, history, and cultural heritage. Every line and every drawing reflects deep respect for Turkey’s naval history.
