Ottoman torpedo boat Draç

Marine Vehicles

Draç was a torpedo boat of the Ottoman Navy that entered service in 1907 and took part in the Balkan Wars and the First World War. She was ordered in 1901 and built at Sestri Ponente, Genoa, as yard number 138 by Ansaldo, Armstrong & Cie, the Ansaldo partnership of that period. Construction began in April 1904, she was launched that year, and she was delivered on 29 November 1906. She was 51.2 metres long and displaced 165 tonnes, and two three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engines of 2,700 horsepower, fed by two Ansaldo-built water-tube boilers, gave 26 knots on trials, with 60 tons of coal on board. In the war she swept and laid mines and patrolled, and she ran aground at Sarkoy on 27 June 1915. She was decommissioned in 1918 and again in 1920, her hull served as a work barge at Golcuk from 1926, and she was dismantled in 1936.
