Liman: A name with rich historical significance, evoking images of pivotal battles and influential figures. From the Uhlans at Liege, to Port Limon and Uvas Island, depicted in an 1890 painting by A. Kohl, the name Liman transports us back in time. The Battle in 1788 saw American naval commander John Paul Jones leading a daring attack against Turkish galleys. Fast forward to the late 19th century, the Kurhaus at Andrewski Liman in Odessa, Russia, became a popular destination for the elite. In the early 20th century, General Liman von Sanders, a German army officer, played a crucial role in modernizing the Ottoman military. With such a diverse and intriguing history, the name Liman continues to captivate our imagination.
