Facts and practical information

The Bandırma Vapuru is a historic ship moored in the city of Samsun, Turkey, and stands as a significant emblem of the nation's struggle for independence. The vessel is renowned for its pivotal role in the events leading up to the Turkish War of Independence. On May 19, 1919, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, embarked from this very ship to commence the national liberation movement against occupying forces.

The Bandırma Vapuru, originally a passenger and cargo steamship, has been carefully preserved and transformed into a museum ship, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience a critical moment in Turkish history. The vessel's exhibition offers a wealth of historical artifacts, documents, and photographs, providing an immersive glimpse into the era of Atatürk and the birth of the Turkish Republic.

As a symbol of determination and the spirit of independence, the Bandırma Vapuru draws not only history enthusiasts but also those looking to honor the legacy of Atatürk. It serves as a tangible connection to the past and an educational resource for future generations.
