The Theodosian harbour, unearthed during salvage excavations at Yenikapı by the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, has revealed many archaeological artefacts that have enriched the cultural history of Istanbul, in addition to 37 shipwrecks, which sank at different moments over a time span of approximately 600 years. The Byzantine galeai discovered are particularly important, as they constitute the first archaeological evidence of galleys in the early medieval age. In this article, we shall describe the construction characteristics of one of these galleys, YK16, within the context of the other galleys
