Object:Sailing boats on the Bosphorus near Akıntıburnu
Description:View of the Bosphorus from the Akıntıburnu quay in the direction of the historical fortress of Rumeli Hisarı and beyond. The view is divided by a prominent pylon on the right margin and several wires stretching across the upper half of the picture, standing out against the sky. On the water, two sailing boats – one with full sails at the centre of the image, the other in the foreground – approach the quay. Two men are working on the boat in the foreground: one is handling a long pole at the bow, the other is occupied with the near the stern. Squatting against a pylon at the quay, a third man in a raincoat is looking towards the approaching boat. The silhouette of Rumeli Hisarı stands out against the sky on the left margin of the picture.
Comment:Sailing boats were used to transport goods on the Bosphorus.
