Once upon a time, there were boatmen under the governance of the “iskele kethüda.” All day and year-round, these boatmen rowed people back and forth between Galata and Eminönü, Hasköy and Balat. It is said that there were so many commuters that, by the late 19th century, there were 10,000 boats plying the city’s water routes.These boats were used for more than just commuting. Historians write that boat rides were among the most popular and elaborate entertainment forms of the Ottoman Empire. Boat rides on the Golden Horn stream were an inspiration to many poets, singers and artists.
The Ottomans classified boats according to the person using them as well as the purpose of use. There was a hierarchy that determined who could use which boat, the number of oarsmen they could have working and other such details.At the top of the rank were the Sultan’s boats that carried the ruler of the empire, the Sultan. The Sultan was the only person who could own the largest boat (30 meters x 2.5 meters) and have the greatest number of oarsmen (26). Only he was allowed to travel around the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus on this spectacular boat specifically designed and decorated to show his imperial wealth, power and prestige.
