ARRIVAL AND WELCOME OF THE JEWS IMMIGRANTS IN TURKEY 1492

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Aug 19, 2018 9:32 pm

Turkey issued one stamp in 1992 which show the arrival of the Sephardic Jews immigrants in Turkey in 1492.
The stamp is designed after a painting made by Metvlut Akyildizk and in the Ottoman Imperial Archives.
Sultan Bayezid II granted the Sephardic Jews permission to settle in the Ottoman Empire, after the expelling of the Jews from Spain in 1492. He sent Admiral Kemal Reiz with a fleet of 20 ships to Spain, to bring the expelled Jews to Turkey.
The stamp and painting shows the arrival and welcome by Sultan Bayezid II of the Jews immigrants in Turkey.
The ship depict on the stamp, most probably a transport, Admiral Kemal Reiz flagship was the GÖKE but she was a four mast ship and the stamp shows a three mast ship most probably a transport “galleon”.

The vessel was moored alongside but still under full sail which is strange?
