pre and post preparation play important role. Todays, logistics, called in the
litearature the activities, that are executed during the time before and the
time is Ottoman food and supply. İssues often addressed superficially ratioing
and supply of the Otroman  army sea has
been, what materials, with wihc such questions are often left unanswered that
it has been supplied. No doubt if wrote a list of food and supplies for the
Ottoman army, inded we need expand the hundreds of substance. If, we were to
ask what is most important in this pahase will be the answer water. Water is

need to land and naval forces of the Ottoman Empire, great importance is water
supply. Relatively easy to meet the water needs of land army, sources of fresh
water such as rivers and lakes and snow borehole along the route of advance
form, the need for water can be met easily. However, it cannot be that easy
naval force, the navigation and brething harbour for a long time. In this
state, the navy ship to meet the water needs of the interior volume is large,
such as, demijohn, kegs, and barrels loaded water. In this study, what we need
before the manufacturing stage of these water bins, what means and where they
are obtained from, what means of supply of the material used to be transported,
where the production is carried out, based on the archive documents from the
last quarter of the 18th century to the first quarter of the 19th century when
taking time We will try to show.
