Episode The Ottoman Navy's Secret Weapon: The Arsenal of Kasımpaşa
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the shipyards of Kasımpaşa, the beating heart of Ottoman naval power for centuries. From the conquest of Constantinople to the age of Barbarossa, the Arsenal built galleys that challenged Venice and ruled the Mediterranean. They explore the Tersane-i Amire, the role of the Kapudan Pasha, the lives of the galley slaves and free oarsmen, and how timber, tar, and canvas flowed from the Black Sea to the Bosphorus. Discover the logistics of building hundreds of warships, the devastating fire of 1665, and the slow decline as sail replaced oar. This is the story of an industrial complex that made an empire a naval superpower—and how it all fell apart.
