Bosphorus Steam Ferry
The whole business of Constantinople has historically been linked to the Bosphorus that divides the European side of the city from the Asian side of the city. The traditional way of crossing has been by ferry since earliest times. These steam ferries date from Victorian times and are responsible even to this day for transporting the majority of the workforce from one side of the city to the other. This boat is the Goztepe, which was built in Dunkirk, France - taken out of service and put up for sale in 1984

Bosphorus Constantinople Crossing Divides Ferries Ferry Funnel Istanbul Steam Ship Strait Transporting Work Force
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Bosphorus Steam Ferry, Goztepe, gliding through the waters of the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, Turkey. The Bosphorus has long been a focal point of this vibrant and culturally rich city, dividing the European and Asian sides. Since ancient times, the primary means of crossing this natural barrier has been by ferry. This particular steam ferry, built in Dunkirk, France, dates back to Victorian times and was taken out of service and put up for sale in 1984. The Goztepe, with its distinctive funnel and steam stack, has played a crucial role in transporting the city's workforce between the two sides. The Bosphorus Steam Ferries are a testament to the city's rich history and its enduring connection to the water. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional and historical significance of these vessels in the daily life of Istanbul.
