Whereas Bodrum’s distant history is full of pirates and tyrants, its recent history is more about fishing and sponge-diving. Now, it’s equally famous for its traditional boats, whose traditional shapes have been handed down for thousands of years. The Ottoman shipyard was founded in 1775 in order to construct new ships for the Ottoman fleet. We know that the first ship was launched in 1784 and the walls of the shipyard were fortified in 1882, together with its tower, which had been erected as a protection against attacks by pirates.Nowadays, the building houses an art gallery and, from time to time, cultural events and entertainment.
