This is a list of known sailing
warships of the
Ottoman Empire and its various
North Africanvassal states and dependencies, from the origin of the empire in the
Late Middle Ages to 1859. During this period, the Ottomans used both oar-powered
galleys and more conventional
ships of the line, along with various hybrid designs. Many entries are based on
Western sources, therefore the names may be misspelled or not reflect the original name of the vessel, but that given by foreign observers and
captors.
