@article{2020,title={Provıded Timber And Problems In The 18th Century Ottoman Navy},abstractNode={The Ottoman navy entered a structural transformation in the 18th century with the force of external dynamics. The basis of this transformation is the transition from galley type ships, the basic warship of previous centuries, to galleon type ships. This transition included both increasing the number of galleon type ships in different shipyards such as Istanbul, Sinop, Mytilene and Rhodes, and using them effectively in wars with rival states. With the age of geographical discoveries, the fact that the use of galleon became dominant in Europe and that the European states used these ships extensively in their activities such as war, transportation and trade made this transformation obligatory for the Ottoman Empire. Especially the 1645- 1669 Cretan Wars with the Venetians made this imperative urgent. The transition to galleon technology brought with it a new logistics, labor and finance organization. In addition to being a large and wide warship of Galleon, the need for a large number of masters with different abilities for its construction has increased the need for qualified workforce. Compared to the importance they had on the ships of the previous era, sailors, carpenters, burgerers, carvers, overhead workers and tuggers gained more importance in this period. The ability of the galleon to carry a large number of balls on its side increased the importance of the artillery, which is one of the warrior elements. All this has led to the opening of new expenditure and expense gates. The material used by carpenters, burgers and carvers, who make up the skilled workforce, is timber. Timber is used extensively in the manufacture of spinal linings of the galleon, ship porters, porthole covers, captain kiosks and booms that allow the use of sails. The Ottoman Empire realized the timber procurement through a procurement system that it created with its own methods. The basis of this system is the concept of "ocaklık" and "avarız". In this system; There are shipyard assistants, timber assistants, galleon architects and bailiffs, as well as people from many boilers. The duties of these people were determined in detail with the law and decrees, and special revenues from the state budget were duly used when the time and place came for financing of this work.},author={Mehmet TAŞ},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies - Historical Analysis}}
