Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey & Turkish Fleet
Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey (1844 - 1918) and the Turkish fleet in the Golden Horn. Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1909 until his death in 1918, Mehmed - original name Mehmed Resad - spent much of his life in seclusion until the forced abdication of his brother Sultan Abdul Hamid II at the hands of the Young Turks in 1909. A kindly gentle man with an interest in Persian literature, Mehmed was effectively little more than a puppet Sultan whose actions were directed by leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress. Mehmed was little able to govern of his own accord and thus accepted direction from Young Turk leaders including Enver Pasha

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey (1844-1918) standing proudly on the deck of a grand Turkish warship in the Golden Horn of Istanbul (Constantinople), the historic harbor of the former Ottoman Empire's capital city. Mehmed, whose original name was Mehmed Resad, became Sultan in 1909 following the forced abdication of his brother, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, by the Young Turks. A kindly and gentle man with a deep interest in Persian literature, Mehmed was largely a figurehead Sultan, with the real power lying in the hands of the leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress, including Enver Pasha. The Ottoman Empire was in a state of decline, and the Turkish fleet in the Golden Horn was a testament to its once-great naval power. The ships in the harbor, with their ornate designs and impressive size, serve as a reminder of the empire's rich maritime history. Mehmed, dressed in his royal robes and adorned with the symbols of his office, appears determined and resolute as he surveys his fleet. Despite his limited ability to govern, Mehmed remained Sultan until his death in 1918, marking the end of the Ottoman Empire's long and storied history. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the Ottoman Empire was a major world power, and the Turkish fleet was a symbol of its strength and might. The Golden Horn, with its rich history and architectural beauty, provides the perfect backdrop for this historical image, transporting us back to a time when Istanbul was the center of the Ottoman world.
