It is the most important and famous warship in the world. A large monument is exhibited in the museum at the entrance of Tarsus, which has been restored by experts while preserving the original. He is mostly remembered for his heroism, which determined the boundaries of today's world geography by stopping the enemy navy known as the Magnificent Armada on March 18, 1915. The Nusret Mine Ship was built in 1912 at the Germania Shipyard in Kiel, Germany and delivered to the Ottoman Navy in 1914. The speed of the ship, which was 7.4 m in width and 40 m in length, was 15 mph. He was assigned to the Dardanelles due to its rapid maneuvering feature in narrow areas, and he dumped the last 26 mines we have into the Dark Harbor and showed to friends and enemies that Dardanelles would not be passed. He served in our navy until 1955, after this date she was discharged. The ship, which was worn out after many years and sunk in Mersin Port, was brought to Tarsus from Mersin in three parts and it regained its old days after being restored in accordance with the original. Located in Çanakkale Park at the entrance to Mersin of Tarsus, the ship is visited by local and foreign tourists with great admiration and respect.
