The process of radical
change in the state administration that began in 1839 after the declaration of
the Tanzimat Edict also affected the members of the Ottoman dynasty. The
princes started to go to public schools as well as taking lessons from private
teachers. Over time, the princes assummed various tasks similar to those in the
European dynasties and became public figures. The navy also made an important
contribution to this recognition. As a matter of fact, since the Tanzimat and
especially after the declaration of the second constitutionalism in 1908, the
princes appointed to the navy were noteworthy among those assigned as honorary
or active duty in the army. The main subject of this article is the princes in
the navy which is not well-known. Some of the princes who received their
initial education from private teachers in the palace preferred the Military
Academy and the Naval Academy with their own preferences or by the decision of
the dynasty. In this study, the life stories and activities of the princes who
were enrolled in the Naval Academy or registered to the navy in childhood by
the order of the sultan will be presented with archival documents. Thus, the
role of some of the late Ottoman princes in social life will be emphasized.
