Innovation And Empire
Ottoman naval technology underwent a transformation under the rule of Sultan Selim III. New types of sailing warships such as two- and three-decked galleons, frigates and corvettes began to dominate the Ottoman fleet. The author argues that although the Ottoman Empire was independent power, some technological dependence on Europe remained.
