Gazi Alemdar Ship Museum
The Alemdar is a 300-ton salvage tug, built in Denmark in 1898. The ship was seized in World War I and transferred to the command of the marine lines. The first and only naval battle of Türkiye’s War of Independence took place in Karadeniz Ereğli; the subsequent successful battle, called the Alemdar Incident, formed the basis of further victories by the Republic of Türkiye. The Alemdar was rebuilt according to its original design, and still serves as a museum.
