Summary
Description Ottoman ship of the line Mahmudiye.png | Mahmudiye (1829), ordered by the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II and built by the Imperial Naval Arsenal on the Golden Horn in Constantinople , was for many years the largest warship in the world. The 201 x 56 kadem (1 kadem = 37.887 cm) or 76.15 m × 21.22 m (249.8 ft × 69.6 ft) ( kadem , which translates as "foot", is often misinterpreted as equivalent in length to one imperial foot , hence the wrongly converted dimensions of "201 x 56 ft, or 62 x 17 m" in some sources) ship-of-the-line was armed with 128 cannons on 3 decks and carried 1,280 sailors on board. She participated in many important naval battles, including the Siege of Sevastopol (1854-1855) during the Crimean War (1854-1856) . She was decommissioned in 1874. |

The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts
70 years
after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over
120 years ago
, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see
here
for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office ) before January 1, 1929. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term . Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II ( more information ), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions ( more information ). |
