EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Entrance to the Old Shipyard in Izmit, Turkey, circa 1910. The image transports us to a bygone era of maritime history, as we gaze upon the grand gateway leading into the heart of this once bustling Ottoman shipyard. Izmit, also known as Nicomedia, is a city located in the Kocaeli province of Turkey, nestled along the shores of the Marmara Sea. This old shipyard, which dates back to the late Ottoman Empire, played a significant role in the region's maritime industry. The entrance to the shipyard is adorned with intricate stonework, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of the Ottoman Empire. The arched gateway, with its ornate carvings and decorative motifs, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this area. The old shipyard was a hub of activity, with ships of all shapes and sizes coming and going, transporting goods and people across the Marmara Sea and beyond. The image captures a sense of industry and productivity, as workers can be seen toiling away in the background, preparing ships for their next voyage. Today, the old shipyard in Izmit has been largely abandoned, with many of the buildings and structures falling into disrepair. However, this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role it played in the region's history, and the contributions it made to Turkey's maritime industry during the Ottoman Empire. This evocative image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Turkish history, maritime history, or industrial archaeology. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was connected by the sea, and the old shipyard in Izmit was a gateway to new horizons.
