  • Ship and turkey Maritime public transport with ferryboats is one of the oldest in Istanbul, a city with two parts separated by Bosphorus strait and surrounded by sea. In 1837, British and Russian owned boats started transport on Bosphorus. Istanbul Maritime Company was established in 1851 by a decree of Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid. The ferry service began in 1853 with six paddle steamers built in Robert White shipyard in England. The service extended in 1859 to places around Golden Horn. After 1903 driven steamboats were put in service. While until 1929 boats were imported, the ferries were built later on in the shipyards in Golden Horn. The fleet grew up once to 40 boats. In 1867, the same company started vehicle transport across Bosphorus between KabataÅŸ and Ãœsküdar with two ferryboats purchased from England, being as the first scheduled ferry lines in the world.
