Çanakkale Naval Museum

The Çanakkale Naval Museum houses historical boats, navigation instruments, weapons, and military equipment spanning different eras of Turkish maritime history. The collection ranges from Ottoman sultanate vessels to military ships and weaponry from the First World War period.

Founded in 1982 near the Çimenlik Casemates, the museum preserves maritime artifacts from the Ottoman sultanate era and the First World War. Its location at this crucial maritime crossroads reflects the historical importance of Turkish naval power in the region.

The exhibits feature oil paintings, watercolors, and traditional naval uniforms that document the evolution of Turkish maritime heritage. These artworks offer insights into the visual and craft traditions of seafaring life across centuries.

The museum is located in the city center and welcomes visitors daily except Mondays and Thursdays. Entry is free during select national celebration periods throughout the year.

The wreck of the German submarine SM UB-46 from World War I is displayed outdoors as a compelling artifact. This sunken vessel tells the story of the intense naval battles that took place in the Dardanelles Strait.
