From Yesterday to Today

1453

A New Beginning

After the conquest of Istanbul, Tersane-i Amire rises on the shores of the Golden Horn. More than a shipyard, it becomes a cradle of cultures, craftsmanship, and imagination.


16th - 18th Century

The Heart of Craftsmanship

Carpenters, tailors, and dyers work side by side. Not only ships, but the very spirit of a civilization is built within these workshops.


19th Century

Ottoman Modernity

Under Sultan Mahmud II, the Tailor's Workshop becomes a symbol of reform, crafting the uniforms of a new era. The Carpentry Hall and Dye-house embody precision, color, and artistry.


20th Century

Silent Witness

Empires fade, time shifts, yet the stones and arches of the shipyard stand strong-silent witnesses of centuries past.


2025

Aliée Reborn

The spirit of craftsmanship and refinement lives on. Rooted in heritage, inspired by timeless rituals, and open to the world, Aliée is a living story where past and future meet in harmony.
