My sketches and some pictures about Turkish Frigate Ertugrul çizimler,resimler (ink wash, watercolour and pencil drawings) Ertugrul についての私のデッサンそしてスケッチ映像TURKISH JAPANESE RELATIONS In November 1878, the squadron Seiki of the Japanese Imperial Navy arrived in Istanbul en route to a training mission in Europe, and the envoy was received by Sultan Abdul Hamid II and honored with various medals. Then, in 1881 the Emperor's relative Prince Kato Hito came to the court Yıldız Palace in an effort to conclude agreements relating to trade and wartime status. Upon the visit of Prince Komatsu Akihito to İstanbul in October 1887 and the presentation of Japan's highest order, the Order of the Chrysanthemum, to the sultan, the government of the Ottoman Empire decided to send a ship on a goodwill voyage to Japan in return. THE VOYAGE TO JAPAN Ertuğrul, with 607 sailors — including 57 officers — on board, was instructed to set sail from Istanbul on July 14, 1889, with Captain Ali Bey commanding. Ertugrul arrived in Yokohoma on June 7, 1890. The journey from Istanbul lasted around eleven months. Captain Ali Osman Bey was promoted to the rank of a commodore during the journey. In Yokohama, Admiral Ali Osman Pasha and the officers were received by Emperor Meiji of Japan on June 13, 1890. The gifts and the medal sent by Sultan Abdul Hamid II were presented to their intended recipients. Ali Osman Pasha was honored with the First Class Order of the Rising Sun, and Skipper Ali Bey with the Third Class Order of the Rising Sun. Other navy officers were also decorated with medals. (Magnificent ceremonies were held there to welcome the frigate's crew. The Ertugrul's crew was received hospitably by the Japanese people. While cannons were sounding the salute, Japanese people rushed to see the Turkish flag and ship. ) Subsequently, Turkish officers were received by the Empress. On June 14, 1890, young Prince Yoshihito Haru received the Turkish admiral. On the following days, many receptions, dinners and ceremonies took place. THE ACCIDENT On September 15, 1890 at noon, Ertuğrul set sail from Yokohama for Istanbul. The very good weather conditions at the departure changed the next day in the morning. A reverse wind began to blow, getting stronger towards evening. By nightfall, the wind came from below the bow so that the sails had to be folded. The 40 m (130 ft) high mizzen mast collapsed ... While the storm continued gaining power, waves coming from the bow separated the deck boards from the front. ... Despite all the efforts, the ship's disintegration was imminent and the only option was seeking sanctuary in a nearby port. They headed to Kobe, within 10 miles of the ship, in the gulf beyond the Kashinozaki Cape with Oshima Lighthouse. Seawater breaking through finally extinguished one of the furnaces in the engine room. Almost immobile without main sails and sufficient propulsion, and having only the wind and the waves behind, Ertuğrul drifted towards the dangerous rocks at the eastern coast of Oshima Island. As the crew tried just to stop the ship before the rocks by emergency anchoring, the ship hit the reefs and fell apart at the first impact around midnight on September 18, 1890. At the site of the accident, around 533 sailors, of whom fifty were officers including the commander Admiral Ali Osman Pasha, lost their lives. Only six officers and sixty-three sailors survived. Paradoxically, the disaster helped establish the historical friendship between Turkey and Japan. The efforts made by the Japanese villagers in the surrounding area to rescue survivors and search for the bodies of the dead was amazing. The mayor of Ooshima and other prominent people on the island worked hard to provide treatment for the survivors. A ship sent by the Japanese Navy took part in the efforts to collect the bodies of the dead. Nurses and doctors were ordered by Emperor Meiji to go to Ooshima to help look after the survivors. His Imperial Majesty Meiji also assigned a Japanese warship to take the survivors back home. The crew of the Japanese warship bringing the survivors to Istanbul were received most warmly. They stayed for 40 days in Istanbul as the guests of His Imperial Majesty Abdulhamid II and Dolmabahce Palace was given over to them. ここにそして私のデッサンおよび映像で私は日本語を書くことを試みた。私の日本の友人は、日本語の私の欠陥を許す。ありがとう。MEHMET LINKS: Titanic of Turkey JAPAN TIMES http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20080413x3.html http://www.turkey.jp/english/turkey-japanrelations.htm Turkish Embassy Japanトルコ共和国大使館 http://www.turkey.jp/english/indexeng.htm Ertugrul Firkateyni http://www.ertugrul.jp/ Japonya'da bir Türk Gemisi (串本町ABOUT KUSHIMOTO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushimoto,Wakayama TURKEY WELCOMES YOU : Official site of the Ministry of Tourism http://www.tourismturkey.org/
