Description - 3MR10 TURKISH SAILING SHIP (x2) The wide spread of the Ottoman Empire meant that a large number of merchant ships were required for trade. The larger vessels were between 200 and 300 tons displacement and could be found trading throughout the Mediterranean. They were also used to support the galley fleets, and would carry both provisions and men to reinforce the fleet, with he transfer of men often being carried out by Fustas during the actual battle. Possibly as many as 300 troops could be carried as well as provisions.
