Joshua Slocum is celebrated as the first person to sail alone around the world, a monumental achievement he accomplished between 1895 and 1898. Central to this historic voyage was his boat, Spray, a small, humble craft that Slocum transformed into an icon of self-reliance and maritime ingenuity.

The Sea Shadow IX-529, developed by the U.S. Navy, is a vessel shrouded in mystery and innovation. Built in 1985 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Lockheed Martin, the ship was a cutting-edge experiment in naval stealth technology. Sea Shadow was designed to test the viability of stealth features on water, borrowing concepts initially explored in aviation stealth. With its dark, angular appearance, this 160-foot craft had a distinctive shape that minimized its radar signature, similar to stealth aircraft. The hull’s unique, angular structure used radar-absorbing materials to help reduce detectability, setting Sea Shadow apart as a landmark in naval design and technology.

The HMS Canopus was part of a fascinating era in naval history, representing the might of the Royal Navy at the turn of the 20th century. She was the lead ship of the Canopus-class battleships, a class known for its balance of firepower, armor, and speed, crafted with the intention of projecting British naval power across the globe, especially in far-flung colonial waters.
Launched in 1897, HMS Canopus and her five sister ships—Albion, Goliath, Glory, Ocean, and Vengeance—were designed to be faster and more agile than their predecessors. This was achieved in part by reducing their overall armor thickness compared to previous classes but compensating with advanced Krupp steel, which provided better protection without the extra weight. Their slimmer form, combined with a more efficient engine system, meant they could reach a respectable top speed of 18 knots—crucial for the fast-paced, far-reaching duties of the British Empire.

Narco ships, also known as narco submarines or drug subs, are vessels used primarily by drug cartels and organized crime groups to smuggle illegal narcotics, particularly cocaine, across international waters. These vessels have become more common as a method to evade detection by law enforcement agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and other international forces.

Çektirme is the kind of boat that effortlessly steals the spotlight. Long, sleek, and designed for both speed and style, it has graced the waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean for centuries. This Turkish sailboat, once a staple of Ottoman maritime life, is more than just a vessel—it’s a symbol of seafaring elegance and craftsmanship.
Typically spanning between 15 to 30 meters in length, the çektirme was built with speed in mind. Its narrow hull, usually around 4 to 5 meters wide, allowed it to slice through the water with minimal resistance, making it perfect for the breezy, calm waters of the Mediterranean. What really set the çektirme apart, though, was its lateen sail configuration—those iconic triangular sails mounted on tall, elegant masts. This sail setup wasn’t just for show. Lateen sails allowed the boat to tack against the wind efficiently, giving it a leg up when maneuvering through the often gusty Aegean Sea.

Today, we’re about to embark on a thrilling voyage into the icy frontiers of the Arctic, where two of the most extraordinary vessels on Earth—the Bourbon Arctic and the Horizon Arctic—are conquering the wild, frozen seas with power, precision, and a dash of high-seas heroism!
HMS Inflexible was a revolutionary warship, a marvel of Victorian naval engineering that represented the pinnacle of British maritime power in the late 19th century. Launched in 1876 and commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1881, this ironclad battleship was designed to be the ultimate answer to the growing threat posed by the French and Italian navies. Its construction was a bold statement of Britain’s determination to maintain its dominance over the world’s oceans, no matter the cost or the challenges.
The HMS Majestic class battleships epitomize naval prowess and technological mastery of their era. Built during a time of intense global competition, these majestic vessels represented the pinnacle of naval engineering, designed to dominate the seas with their formidable presence.
The HMS Majestic class battleships had two other classes that were very similar in design:
Canopus Class: These ships were slightly smaller and faster, designed to navigate the Suez Canal more easily. They had a similar armament layout but with thinner armor to save weight.
Formidable Class: These were almost identical to the Majestic class but featured slightly improved armor and armament. They were essentially an incremental improvement over the Majestic class.
These classes shared many design characteristics and operational roles, reflecting the evolutionary approach to battleship design in the pre-dreadnought era.

Once upon a time in the vibrant heart of the Ottoman Empire, a grand vision was set into motion—the creation of the Abdülkadir ironclad warship. Though its story took a different turn than originally intended, the tale of this unfinished marvel remains an intriguing chapter in naval history.
In the mid-19th century, as naval technology advanced rapidly, the Ottoman Empire sought to bolster its maritime strength. The plan to construct a fleet of ironclad warships was born, and among these was the Abdülkadir. This ironclad was envisioned as a symbol of the empire’s modernization and technological ambition.
Designed to be a floating fortress, the Abdülkadir was intended to feature a robust iron-plated hull and powerful armament, capable of withstanding and delivering formidable blows in naval battles. It was to be a testament to the ingenuity of Ottoman engineers and shipbuilders.

The Historic Legacy of Feth-i Bulend: Ottoman Empire’s Ironclad Marvel
In the late 19th century, amidst a period of rapid technological advancements and naval modernization, the Ottoman Empire embarked on a remarkable journey in maritime innovation with the commissioning of the ironclad warship Feth-i Bulend. This vessel, with its impressive design and strategic significance, left an indelible mark on Ottoman naval history.
Feth-i Bülend Ironclad Corvette
Feth-i Bülend (Ottoman Turkish: “Great Victory”) was an Ottoman ironclad warship built in the late 1860s, the lead ship of her class. The Ottoman Navy ordered her from the British Thames Iron Works, and she was laid down in 1868, launched in 1869, and commissioned in 1870. She was armed with four 229 mm (9 in) guns, was powered by a single-screw compound steam engine with a top speed of 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph).
